Claude Code works well for lots of things; for example yesterday I asked it to switch weather APIs backing a weather site and it came very close to one-shotting the whole thing even though the APIs were quite different.
I use it at home via the $20/m subscription and am piloting it at work via AWS Bedrock. When used with Bedrock APIs, at the end of every session it shows you the dollar amount spent which is a bit disconcerting. I hope the fine-grained metering of inference is a temporary situation otherwise I think it will have a chilling/discouraging effect on software developers, leading to less experimentation and fewer rewrites, overall lower quality.
I imagine Anthropic gets to consume it unmetered internally so I they probably completely avoid this problem.
