This famous XKCD keeps popping into my mind as I watch Claude Code insisting on running stuff like find . -name "*.py" | xargs grep "function_name" across a fifty-thousand-line codebase, burning tokens like mad, waiting, waiting — when ctags could have answered in milliseconds. The crazy thing isn’t that Claude is doing it, it’s that people are watching the madness and approve mindlessly… as if a better way wasn’t the standard just a short while ago.
