alt Hacker NewsDid you need it though? Like most projects I see being done by people with Claude Code are just their personal projects, which they wouldn't have wasted their time on in the past but now they will get pulled into the terminal thinking its only gonna take 20 mins and they end up burning 100s of subscription dollars on it. If there is no other maintainer & the project is all yours, I dont see any harm in doing it.
I don't NEED this, but turning 2-3 hours fiddling with DTOs, kubernetes yaml, dockerfiles, deployment scripts and other busy work into half an hour does "save you the whole evening" (which our current discussion is about!).
With adults usually having no more than 2-3 hours of free time per work day, this allows you to productively program in your free time without fully burning out.
Also, my company pays for claude and does not give a shit what I do with it.
