It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go

If we include languages like C#, javascript/typescript, python etc then that’s a huge portion of the landscape.

Personally I wouldn’t use it to generate entire features as it will generally produce working, but garbage code, but it’s useful to get boilerplate stuff done or query why something isn’t working as expected. For example, asking it to write tests for a React component, it’ll get about 80-90% of it right, with all the imports, mocks etc, you just need to write the actual assertions yourself (which we should be doing anyway).

I gave Claude a try last week at building some AWS infrastructure in Terraform based off a prompt for a feature set and it was pretty bang on. Obviously it required some tweaks but it saved a tonne of time vs writing it all out manually.
