I don't think many of you have legitimately tried Claude Code, or maybe you're holding it wrong.
I'm getting 10x the work done. I'm operating at all layers of the stack with a speed and rapidity I've never had before.
And before anyone accuses me of being some "vibe coder", I've built five nines active-active money rails that move billions of dollars a day at 50kqps+, amongst lots of other hard hitting platform engineering work. Serious senior engineering for over a decade.
This isn't just a "cool technology". We've exited the punch card phase. And that is hard or impossible to come back from.
If you're not seeing these same successes, I legitimately think you're using it wrong.
I honestly don't like subscription services, hyperscaler concentration of power, or the fact I can't run Opus locally. But it doesn't matter - the tool exists in the shape it does, and I have to consume it in the way that it's presented. I hope for a different offering that is more democratic and open, but right now the market hasn't provided that.
It's as if you got access to fiber or broadband and were asked to go back to ISDN/dial up.
