A developer shares their experience using Claude Code for 6 weeks, describing how it transformed their coding workflow and productivity. They completed years of technical debt and maintenance tasks as side projects while working on regular features, including converting React Native components, migrating testing frameworks, and building complex tools. The post explores how AI coding assistants change the development process from writing every line to orchestrating and reviewing generated code, comparing it to the shift from painting to photography. Key insights include the importance of monorepos for AI context, the value of boring/mature tech stacks, and how AI enables rapid prototyping and exploration of ideas that would previously require significant time investment.
