How does it compare to Aider with the same model?

  I just posted as a top-level, but the biggest difference I see is that Claude Code does better at identifying which files to change than Aider does, and it's a lot more expensive. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43315371 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43315371

    Thanks, super helpful. I tried it out and had similar observations, in my case, I also work on a Swift codebase but with a few internal dependencies that are in separate repos, Aider can handle this by pointing it to files in other repos with the read-only command. I wasn't able to get that working with Claude code. I also found the "magic" dependency resolution part of Claude code to be a little wasteful/poor, at least in my codebase in which it chewed through time and tokens searching for the correct files.
