I've found claude-code good in a multi-million line project because it can navigate the filesystem like a human would.
You have to give it the right context and direction — like you would to a new junior dev — but then it can be very good. Eg.
> Implement a new API in `example/apis/new_api.rs` to do XYZ which interfaces with the system at `foo/bar/baz.proto` and use the similar APIs in `example/apis/*` as reference. Once you're done, build it by running `build new_api` and fix any type errors.
Without that context (eg. the example APIs) it would flail, but so would most human engineers.
