I only have experience with Claude Code. If it goes on a spree, the task you are giving it is too big IMHO.
replyIt's not a SAT solver (yet) and will have trouble to precisely handle arbitrarily large problems. So you have to lead it a bit, sometimes.
Was recently optimizing an old code base. If I tell it to optimize it does stupid stuff but if I tell it to write profiler first and then slowly attack each piece one at a time then it does really well. Only a matter of time before it does it automatically.
