Not my experience at all. I’ve coded for fun for 40+ years and professionally for 30, and I absolutely love Claude Code. I write far more high-quality, high-performance code, and I learn much faster. I no longer have to agonize over which fun project to pick. I can do them all. There is a trick, though: using these models well is a skill. It’s a tool, and you won’t get good results without experimenting, learning from others, and settling on a workflow that fits what you care about.
