So AI is a thing nowadays. I both love and hate it.

I hate that my social media feeds are entirely just unmoderated AI slopware. Reddit voiceovers and completely made up courtroom videos.

I do like that Claude Code and others exist however. Being able to pump out an idea into a proof of concept quickly is really nice, however it’s not a be all, end all. I see plenty of pure AI vibe code applications being spun up with major security issues, breakages and reinventing every wheel, which is a product of people going full JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL and letting the AI going ham.

In the hands of someone with even some basic programming skills, you can pump out some insanely cool things. Even with my smooth brain.

It’s one of those very fine lines, it will go full insane very quickly if left unchecked.

Now, I absolutely use Claude for a large amount of my personal coding projects. It’s helped me learn new things, and take a shower idea into a finished product in a weekend. It has required a fairly high amount of “nudging” in the direction I want, but I think that’s the ideal use case for AI assisted coding tools.

AI Coding tools are neat, but they aren’t a replacement for programming skills or replacing developer teams anytime soon. They help me do more, but they can’t and shouldn’t be left unattended or unmonitored. Go build something cool. The barrier for entry is lower than ever, but you should have the AI also explain it to you. Learn along the way.
