I hear what you're saying, but for a lot of people coding isn't something we can throw 40+ hours per week at.
My main job is running a small eComm business, and I have to both develop software automations for the office (to improve productivity long-term) while also doing non-coding day to day tasks. On top of this, I maintain an open source project after hours. I've also got a young family with 3 kids.
I'm not saying Claude is the damn singularity or anything, but stuff is getting done now that simply wasn't being addressed before.
100% agree with this, as much as I hate the term "game-changer"... it truly is, I'm working on projects that I've always wanted to do but never had the capacity (or money to pay a small team of devs to build something)-- all these things that you thought you'd never have a chance to do, are suddenly now real and completely possible. I know there's a lot of AI haters out there but I'm pretty sure in time, all devs will embrance it and truly enjoy working with it
If anyone thought there was value to those projects they would have paid for it before.
Yeah, and likely still pay for it now (hopefully!)
