I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has ignited a passion again

I have always had ADHD and as a consequence have a decades long backlog of things that I want to do “some day”, and Claude just removes all the friction from going from idea to execution. I am also a software engineer, so basically for me it is like having a team of developers available 24 hours a day to build anything I want to design.

I have built and thrown away a half dozen projects ideas and gotten one into production at work in just the last few months.

I can build a POC for something in the time it would take me to explain to my coworkers what I even want. An MVP takes as long as what a POC used to take.

The thing that really unlocks stuff for me is how fast it is to make a cli/tui/web ui for things.

As a fellow ADHD’er who is also old and out of coding a decade, after decade and a half coding, wholeheartedly agreed. It’s great to just shit done and abandon if needed. Feels much better than spend 6 months and abandon
