alt Hacker NewsI mean I didn’t find out about Claude code until like a week ago and it hasn’t materially changed my work, or even how I interact with LLMs. I still basically copy paste into claude on web most of the time.
It is ridiculously cool, but I think anybody developer who is out of the loop could easily get back into the loop at any moment without having to stay caught up most of the time.
I'm not talking about tools in particular, I completely agree that they're basically fungible, and for "serious" stuff it's probably still better to use the web interface directly as you have more control over the context.
The problem I see is that a lot of people are grossly misaligned with the state of the art, and it does take a bit of experimentation to understand how to work with an LLM. Even basic stuff like how to work with context isn't immediately obvious.
