Coding with Claude feels like playing a slot machine. Sometimes you get more or less what you asked, sometimes totally not. I don’t think it’s wise or sane to leave them unattended.
If you spend most of your time in planning mode, that helps considerably. It will almost always implement whatever it is that you planned together, so if you're willing to plan extensively enough you'll more or less know what you're going to get out of it when you finally set it loose.
I found that using opus helps a lot. It's eyewateringly expensive though so I generally avoid it. I pay through the API calls because I don't tend to code much.
