If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

Sometimes I re-read my own replies on github or slack, and I'm not sure if a real human wrote them, or this was an AI-generated summary.
The terrible piece is that, writing anything — a prompt or a post — takes me far more time and gigawatts of energy than it does for chatgpt.

Today I saw a bash script, that (upon other stuff) echoes 500 lines of *Java code* into a file, maven-compiles this to a container, and pushes the container to a registry. Not sure how cool or how terrible this is.
