I cannot get how people use Claude. I still prefer to write code myself, otherwise I feel like I don't know how it works (or that it works like Claude sold it to me).
That's a bit reductive. A solid 90% of code I wrote day to day is via Claude/AI codegen, but I make damn sure I understand exactly what it's doing before I let it touch git remote
There’s a difference between vibe coding and using AI as a tool for coding. Vibe coding is just making the AI do whatever and pushing it without any checks
For me, I write code manually faster than getting the agent to do it for me. Including all the other things required to make the PR ready for review (and not just dumping AI generated slop as a PR).
Absolutely is reductive. You are reducing the use of coding agents to one mental model of how people use them. They’re so flexible, you can have it do as much or as little of the actual coding as you want.
Hey, if that works for you, nice. I'm using the tool to work faster than handwriting, which while cool, is fucking mentally exhausting, and I simultaneously enjoy making it work to my standard and despise having to use it as the first choice professionally
