Now imagine if your car didn’t have a steering wheel or pedals, but instead you had to explain to it where to go and it would misunderstand you 60% of the time.

I would say Claude misunderstands about 10% of the time once you know how to prompt it.

Only when the road permits it for that type of car. And if it’s a common road, it’s better economically to build a a train (framework, library) than to use a car (code generation). Then you could use a bycicle (short burst of code) for the parts that matter.
