Most of the code I’ve written today could’ve been written by Claude, with some manual intervention and guidance in between. Because it was a lot of work where you look at similar implementations in the codebase and do roughly the same, which AIs are generally good at.

But

Then I would’ve only learned a tiny fraction about the existing code, and I likely wouldn’t understand half of it. By doing everything by myself, I learned so many things about the codebase that will be massively helpful in the future.
