Why do you feel so attached to “your solutions” just curious?

When you multiply big numbers do you do them on paper instead of a calculator? Why should the calculator figure out your tip?

It’s just a tool bro. It’s not a big deal. You’re still solving problems, if you can use it you can go far and wide. You’re not forced to use it.

Times change. Things evolve.

Lots of people paint or do pottery as a hobby. But most people just prefer to buy their bowls. If that makes sense.

You're right that it's ultimately just a tool - maybe I'm overthinking it.

I think Claude Code had the perfect solution to this. You don't simply autocomplete, you tell it what to do and it looks through the code and proposes a plan. If you know your stuff, you should know whether the plan is any good.

It also walks you through changes one by one and lets you approve them. It beats the typical PR process via github because you go through it in logical order - why this code is here, etc.
