Try Claude Code if you haven’t. It’s really excellent.

The models themselves are really superb. It’s great at reasoning about problems and looking at my code to understand what’s going on. It definitely makes dumb mistakes, but it also catches things I miss.

What’s really excellent is the workflow. I never have to trust anything. As it implements my prompt, it shows me each code change in turn and allows me to approve or give further instructions. It explains everything it’s doing as it goes.

It has all kinds of other features like allowing me to set up general instructions to always follow (eg, coding patterns and style), GitHub integration, running tests and fixing broken ones, etc.

Even cooler than the productivity improvement, it allows me to work at a much higher level, making the job much more enjoyable.
