A good thread to review discussing the failings and successes of Claude Code and, broadly, AI coding
Will's detailed thread about using Claude Code as a coding assistant parallels my experience using ChatGPT o.3 and o.4 as a proof assistant.
Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.
