It's not necessarily anthropomorphizing, but simply anchoring. CC learns quickly "this is a session where the user wants to make key decisions". Alas, it is not very good at identifying what constitutes a "key decision", so it keeps asking about all kinds of useless stuff.

For that reason I exit session quickly when I can. It used to be that the context of a session is very valuable, because it was so hard to get CC there, but now, this isn't the case anymore, so I only hold onto sessions when there is really hairy stuff that I know would be hard to replicate.

I think the whole notion of full automation (long-horizon, subagent swarms, single shot prompting) to have CC build you the whole thing is a pipe dream. CC cannot even write a single doc consistently well. It is excellent at implementing well scoped plans, though, and that's the way to go IMHO. You still gotto refactor the sh*t out of it afterwards but it works.
