I've been experimenting with a workflow where I start with a detailed spec, feed it to Claude Code, and iterate from there. Last Tuesday I built a full CRUD app with auth, database, and deployment in

Been using the new multi-file editing in Claude Code for the past week and it completely changed how I work. Before, I'd have to carefully describe which file to edit. Now it just... understands the w
