What is the secret sauce of Claude Code that makes it, somewhat irrespective of the backend LLM, better than the competition?

Is it just better prompting? Better tooling?

All these new tools are so exciting, but running untrusted code which auto-updates itself is blocking me from trying these tools.

I wish for a vetting tool. Have an LLM examine the code then write a spec of what it reads and writes, & you can examine that before running it. If something in the list is suspect.. you’ll know before you’re hosed not after :)

Throwing more llm at a prompt escaper is like throwing more regexp at a html parser.

If the first llm wasn’t enough, the second won’t be either. You’re in the wrong layer.

that's cool and all, before you get malicious code that includes prompt injections and code that never runs but looks super legit.

LLMs are NOT THOROUGH. Not even remotely. I don't understand how anyone can use LLMs and not see this instantly. I have yet to see an LLM get a better failure rate than around 50% in the real world with real world expectations.

Especially with code review, LLMs catch some things, miss a lot of things, and get a lot of things completely and utterly wrong. It takes someone wholly incompetent at code review to look at an LLM review and go "perfect!".

Edit: Feel free to write a comment if you disagree

If you know that LLMs are not thorough going into it, then you can get your failure rates way lower than 50%. Of course if you just paste a product spec into an LLM, it will do a bad job.

If you build an intuition for what kinds of asks an LLM (agent, really) can do well, you can choose to only give it those tasks, and that's where the huge speedups come from.

Don't know what to do about prompt injection, really. But "untrusted code" in the broader sense has always been a risk. If I download and use a library, the author already has free reign of my computer - they don't even need to think about messing with my LLM assistant.

My suggestion is to try CC, use a language like Go, and read their blogs how they use it internally. They are transparent what works and what does not work.

This is what got me started with claude-code. I gave it a try using openrouter API and got a bill of $40 for 2-3 hours of work. At that point, subscription to the Anthropic plan became a no-brainer

Feels very similar to Aider[1]

There’s also RooCode which is pretty nice: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RooVeter... (fork of Cline, that one’s also good)

Ofc some might prefer the pure CLI experience, but mentioning that because it also supports a lot of providers.

Claude Code with a plan is so much cheaper than any API.

btw do you have javascript's stack background?
