Here's a confession. Most of the code I produce these days comes from Claude Code, or, as I call it, daddy's little helper. Not to be mistaken with Diddy's.
As models get better, I don't see a reason to type the code myself, most of the time. Sure, sometimes I start a change, but I let the model finish it. Or vice versa, I start with the model, I review it, fix things by hand, and guide it. Let a few things slide, notice them afterwards, then use the model or my bare, fragile hands to fix it. And so the new era of programming, for me, goes. It's an exciting time as it lets me feel more productive. My new role is solving problems, not necessarily coding. Coding is a tool, and I enjoy doing it, and in a funny way, I do it more... and less.
Let's meet and show you how I use Claude Code by working on a Balkan Ruby feature in real time. We'll learn the importance of raw code (use vim with copilot to help you write prompts, obviously), kindness (plz fix), and correctness (no mistakes). Will it be fringe - sure! Will we wait awkwardly while the GPUs transform - definitely! Will we feel the void with the social part – absolutely!
Welcome to the new era!

Go to Business Center Vitosha building (not Puzl CowOrKing entrance), head to the elevators and go to the last floor. After exiting the elevator, go up the stairs to the very last floor and enter the cafè. The "Creativity Room" space should be to your right.
