“Kinda”. I run Claude code on a parallel copy of our monorepo, while I use my primary copy.
I typically only give Claude the boring stuff. Refactors, tech debt cleanup, etc. But occasionally will give it a real feature if the urgency is low and the feature is extremely well defined.
That said, I still spend a considerable amount of time reviewing and massaging Claude’s code before it gets to PR. I haven’t timed myself or anything, but I suspect that when the task is suitable for an LLM, it’s maybe 20-40% faster. But when it’s not, it’s considerably slower and sometimes just fails completely.
