I'm an experienced programmer. I've used Claude Code and though it's initially impressive the results are still hit and miss. If the job is very simple and/or you're starting from scratch it can do OK but it takes a bit of time to review what it did. If it isn't simple or you're working on a large and complex code base the chances of it getting it right get low enough that you're on balance better off doing it yourself. You're going to have to review all the changes carefully anyway, and if they're not right you'll be backing them out and retrying different prompts repeatedly when you could just be writing the code.
