Quoting Steve Yegge on Claude Code

I recently tried out Claude Code for both some personal project as well as some work project.
Was very impressed how far the AI coding assistants have come already.
Looks like a powerful tool when used by an experienced software engineer.

I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days, and it has been absolutely ruthless in chewing through legacy bugs in my gnarly old code base. It's like a wood chipper fueled by dollars. It can power through shockingly impressive tasks, using nothing but chat. [...]

Claude Code's form factor is clunky as hell, it has no multimodal support, and it's hard to juggle with other tools. But it doesn't matter. It might look antiquated but it makes Cursor, Windsurf, Augment and the rest of the lot (yeah, ours too, and Copilot, let's be honest) FEEL antiquated.
