I find it pretty interesting that it's a roughly 2,500 word article on "using Claude Code" and they never once actually explain what they're using it for, what type of project they're coding. It's all just so generic. I read some of it then realize that there was absolutely no substance in what I just read.

It's also another in my growing list of data points towards my opinion that if an author posts meme pictures in their article, it's probably not an article I'm interested in reading.

Always good to be cognizant that there are MANY people out there, especially on HN/YC circles, with large vested interests in LLM tooling. Just check out the YC batches lately, you'll be hard pressed to find a single one that doesn't mention AI or LLMs in some way.

It’s always telling when people don’t show their work. I’m not saying LLMs can’t do a good job but if you’re not even explaining the steps you used or showing the code that was generated or fixed then I have to assume what was really produced was unmaintainable spaghetti code that just happened to compile.

I literally cannot share my code, as that belongs to the company or the client. So what would I show? My prompts? Pseudo code? Unless you're an open source developer or build personal projects, requests for "show your code, bro" are hard to satisfy.

That's fine, but then don't write an article about it if you can't show the code. The vagueness just makes the article look unsupported by facts.
