I found that presenting your situation and asking for a plan/ideas + « do not give me code. Make sure you understand the requirements and ask questions if needed.» works much better for me.
It also allows me to more easily control what the llm will do and not end up reviewing and throwing 200 lines of code.
In a nextjs + vitest context, I try to really outline which tests I want and give it proper data examples so that it does not cheat around mocking fake objects.
I do not buy into the whole you’re a senior dev etc. Most people use Claude for coding so I guess it’s engrained by default.
