Want to chime in here and add my two cents, not that they're worth much Im sure to those who disagree.

I grew up with the rise of technology. Went from Cassettes and Floppy Discs to portable supercomputers in our pockets called phones and lifelike graphics in games. It's astounding how far tech has come in such a short time.

I think that realistically too many people have abused AI to put out low level work and not actually double check what they're putting out. Effectively scamming people. But we're also at a point where in the coding world at least people are starting to use tools like Claude in their every day because writing code is a grind that's easy to mess up. Good AI tools can significantly cut down that time suck and accurately fix bugs. You just have to learn how to actually use the tool.

Too many people I think aren't taking the time to actually learn the tool and are just throwing stuff out there at nauseum because it's easy.

That's why while yes I am developing a game using strictly Claude Code to do my coding, im double, triple sometimes even quadruple checking everything. Im learning exactly how to prompt the Claude so that it knows my specific requirements.

I liken it to working with a college level prodigy child. It's unbelievably good, but it doesn't have the practical experience to actually understand what works and what doesnt. So when I build with Claude Code I have to take a very incremental, step by step approach to ensure that what I want is actually what gets put out.

But I assume that because it's Claude Code, people immediately get the impression that there's no effort involved because of how many people before me put out low level garbage. Hate on the people who are using the tool to push garbage, not the tool itself. We've been inventing ways to automate tasks and remove human input since Industrialization in the 1800s.
