It can be rather helpful for some things but I've yet to see any actual data supporting it being "substantially faster". To make something that works and is of equal quality, that is.

I mean if you're just making the same slightly different website for different customers or similarly boilerplate stuff, I'm sure it's substantial. But that's not really most of dev.

If you're reading a study performed 6, or even 3 months ago, you're getting significantly stale data - it really is moving that fast.

Yeah i duno, it's helped me make a massive script to automate a hugely time consuming part of my job saving literally 10's of thousands of hours of work, I'm using it to also setup a boilerplate website that links to our backend to monitor services, it has also helped me setup home automation which makes me money (export power to grid during peak time), and I use it daily for any number of things, it's great

Seems to work well for other people as well:

Claude Code hit $1 billion in annualized run-rate revenue in the first six months after its release and has since grown to $2.5 billion, the company said. Once used primarily by AI-forward startups, Claude Code has gained traction with engineering teams at Fortune 500 companies and even among hobbyists lacking technical skills who are interested in building their own apps. It’s been used for everything from growing a tomato plant to helping plan the route of a NASA Mars rover. On social media, users describe themselves as “Claude-pilled,” or Claude-obsessed.

But who knows, maybe it's just 3d printing 2.0

maybe it’s just 3d printing 2.0

3D printing was awesome. Once or twice a year, it could make something for me that was genuinely useful. It also occupied a big chunk of space in the house and mostly created mostly useless plastic junk creating more clutter - we started 3D printing in 2018 and gave the printer away to someone with a bigger house in 2020. Once since then I have asked him to print something for me. It's that useful.

AI agents are making software. I've got Terabyte flash drives smaller than a key fob - the clutter won't be a problem in our house anytime soon. So far, Claude has helped me cleanup / fix several hobby software projects in amazingly short time to an amazingly high level of polish.
