First time using Claude Code in yolo mode
I was never confident enough to go into yolo mode in Claude Code after I had such a bad experience with Cursor…or I failed quite hard with the prompts. 🤷
Last weekend, I wanted to try it out for a task where I didn't want to sit next to Claude, watch it, and prevent it from failing. So I’ve made a new attempt. “We” planned the task together; I tried to be as precise as I could be with the prompt and got a first draft as a result. Then we iterated and refined the plan until I was confident with it.
On the weekend, we had planned some family time. It was the best opportunity to let Claude go wild with the planned task. Later in the evening when I was back with the family, I was a little excited about how it worked out. I took a first look, and Claude had completed the task. The result was working, and the tests were green. So this looked promising. I peeked at some files, and it looked good.
After I did a full review on the next day, I was quite happy with the result. There were some small adjustments where Claude was not following the rules exactly, but this is ok. Like checking a PR from another colleague.
Maybe I should try this more. One idea would be that after a finished workday, I go into yolo mode with Claude and review the results on the next day. But before I can do this with confidence, I need to refine my Claude settings. The settings are there, but I never touched them, really. There is potential here. :)
