> steer Claude away from over-engineering parts of the system in response to hypothetical concerns. This is my biggest problem with opus 5.5. It's absolutely incredible in many ways, but it has no sense of "good enough". It will go around in circles polishing something so to resolve edge-cases on edge-cases. "Someone could create a class that calls your public method in such a way, that under 3 other race-condition properties, there might be stale data read". It has no sense that it isn't appropriate to add a half dozen classes just to close that kind of hole, especially when there isn't even such a caller or possible conditions at present.

The biggest problem with plugging a generator into an outlet is you need a double ended cord.
