disagree... get claude code and start writing your own apps. its incredibly liberating. im back in the early 00s actually enjoying my computer again not just using it as a terminal to bullshit corp websites. when you start making your own stuff, you end up on the best parts of the internet discussing with people who you miss from when you enjoyed the web.

Maybe this is just a personal thing for me, but I have difficulty saying that anything that Claude creates as "my own stuff".

Getting Claude Code is the opposite of writing your own apps.

i think its more nuanced than "is" or "isn't." an architect does't pour the concrete. the gap between me or claude comes down to the architectural decisions. take a large functional spec in jira for example, any developer can pick up a ticket, but they aren't steering the product. i have zero issue with claude or anyone doing mundane dev tasks to pull off a product im trying to make. but i guess if you want to say you typed every byte, thats a personal preference. i guess i agree if your one shot prompting software, sure, you're still making but not really coding. i see claude as my agentic pair programmer not "the" developer and most of my software is archicted by me and written the way i would. one thing i like to do is point it at my code bases so it can pick up on my stylistic choices.
