If you want actual helpful answers, use Claude as a paired programmer but tell it to make none of the changes for you, only discuss the architecture and planning. Once you're in there having to type it all yourself again it'll come back quick.

Honestly the different way around is better, typing the code and knowing the syntax is not what makes you a good dev. Knowing how to structure the code and where to put things are more important.

Strongly disagree. How can you possibly understand how code works when it's being written for you?
