Ben Nadel experiments with Claude Code models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) to build a web-based log viewer for a ColdFusion application from scratch. He spent 45 minutes writing a detailed prompt — longer than it would have taken to write the code manually. All three models produced similar results, but Sonnet was the only one that worked on the first try. Haiku was 2x faster than Sonnet. The post reflects on the ROI challenge of agentic coding in brownfield applications: detailed prompting overhead often negates the time savings, and the author is still waiting for his 'aha moment' with AI-assisted development.
