I started tinkering with Claude Code and I’ve found it to be an excellent rubber duck. You know, like the rubber duck you have on your monitor that you talk to and explain your code and ponder the meaning of it all?

Claude is like the rubber duck but you can get a response back that will almost always be helpful. It might not be the right answer but I have yet to find a case where it doesn’t put me on the right track to the answer I need. And sometimes I even ask Claude to implement something for me, say, a method for checking if a point is inside a wedge.

Is AI going to make us all irrelevant? Hardly. It’s going to make some of us really good at what we do. Potentially more productive too. Don’t buy into the hype. Take the scientific approach. Test the waters. See what it can do and where the edges start to fray. I am very satisfied with Claude Code. Your mileage may vary. Find one that works for you.
