Friends, just write the code. It’s not that hard.

I hear what you're saying, but for a lot of people coding isn't something we can throw 40+ hours per week at.

My main job is running a small eComm business, and I have to both develop software automations for the office (to improve productivity long-term) while also doing non-coding day to day tasks. On top of this, I maintain an open source project after hours. I've also got a young family with 3 kids.

I'm not saying Claude is the damn singularity or anything, but stuff is getting done now that simply wasn't being addressed before.

It's not that interesting.

You're witnessing the rise of the Developer Technician or Software Technician. They can get a machine to print out an application but you will still need an engineer to know how it works or to get it working. This used to be juniors learning to be senior devs/engineers. Now it is a split between technicians and engineers. The market will be up shit creek when all their technicians can't vibe code their way out of not understanding the code.

Only someone not using Claude could equate human coding.
