This is a funny point that you're making (for me, anyway), because prior to early December, probably 5% of the lines of code I wrote in a week were AI-generated by cursor. Then I started using Claude Code. Fast forward to today, I would say 98% of the code that I've shipped in the last three weeks has been written completely by Claude Code.

Prior to three weeks ago, I had used speech-to-text to do accomplish approximately 0% of the work I've done in my 20 years of coding. In the last three weeks, well over half of the direction that I've given to Claude Code has been done with speech-to-text.

How are you doing speech-to-text with Claude Code?
Just Wispr Flow and a PTT key binding. It's very good for doing plans with Claude Code because I can just ramble and ramble. As long as I just convey the details of what I want over a sufficiently long string of text, it will work even if it has errors in speech-to-text or I have slight contradictions in my framing of the prompt.

If I need to explicitly reference files in the plan prompt, I just manually annotate them into the prompt at the end.

What does the code do?
CRUD
It's always something that already exists but requires 100x the code.
