I usually try to review all the code written by claude. And also let claude review all the code that i write. So, usually I have some understanding of what is going on. And Claude definitely sometimes makes "unconventional" decisions. But if you are working on a large code base with other team members (some of which may already have left the company). Their are also large parts of the code that one doesn't understand and are abstracted away.

It is 2kWh and above. My e-bike has 500Wh, which I think is fairly standard. A smartphone with 2kWh would be, let’s say, rather unconventional.

I am building a dev envirnmont to use Claude Code (or other agentic coding tools) for electronics development. I give Claude access to my lab equipment like my scope. That way I can let claude programm an MCU and at the same time verify that it creates the right output. Also, it can correlate spice simulations with the actual measurements. Which is often tedious to do "manuall" and verify how good my spice simulations are. I am going to record a longer demo, but here is very short video I made about it: https://lucasgerads.com/blog/lecroy-mcp-tutorial/
