"They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months." They've been saying that for years. Stop believing it.

Also, it’s always six months from now, because otherwise you could just point at the hundred ways they’re wrong right now. It’s nothing but the ol’ dotcom “trust me, bro” kind of marketing.

I tried out Claude code for the first time today, and I was a little bit disappointed after all the comments I’ve been reading about it. I didn’t so much notice a speed difference as I did just not having to think very hard while I was working compared to writing everything myself.

Perhaps I’m too opinionated / a micromanager.
