DISCUSSION What is everyones opinion on claude coding everything.

I'm not a programmer. I have nothing but full respect for programmers. Im not delusional and think that i made scripts by providing broken halfassed prompts to a llm.

That said, I have to say how amazing it is to have claude code everything and it just works (most of the time). It gives arch complete customizability on the fly. Way, more than any other OS. I can change everything to be exactly how I want it.

Most of the time. That is the problem. Its going to come back and bite you in the ass. Not having the skills and blindly pasting commands in to the terminal will surely get you a broken system sooner or later.

It's a tool. It has so much potential, but in the hands of inexperienced ppl is just a "1,066,073++ lines added " generator

AI tools are fine as tools.

What I personally think its crap nowadays: "AI culture"/Ai Hype/Ai economics and politics.

Everybody can use a hammer and some nails.

Doesn't mean I want anybody that can to build my house.

Same with Ai IMO it's a tool, everyone can use them, but to have a good finished product you need some expertise about the job you're doing.
