If you look back in your career, you will find out that most of time you dont write code, you read code. You need to travel back and forth of the logic to understand it, write some piece of code, run it then read it again to understand why a wierd logic happen.

You only feel powerful when you boostrap a project because you wirte a lots of skeleton code or init core logic.

Nowaday we dont have chance to even write those kind of code I miss writing code too.

i think this is fine as long as you actually understand what calude code is doing. Because then you are not just using claude code you are using it to automate things that you already know and are just time consuming for you when they dont need to be.

Normally I would still open VS code and use Claude by using terminal.

I care less about the actual code, and more about algorithms, data structures and architectures. I'm glad that AI allow us to think less of syntax and more of logic. My suggestion is that you can use Claude through the terminal and proof read and approve the code, and if time allows it, you can write some of the code you want yourself.

I am very close to uninstalling vscode/cursor and just using some very lightweight editor for the rare times that I need to manually edit files (mostly .env files, etc... not code)

Weird times

Yes, I no longer derive joy or a sense of accomplishment from coding. I used to enjoy making junk, but now anyone can make those things.

Ask HN isnt really the place for hosting blog posts. Instead why not put this on an external site, expand on it a bit, and submit a link?

AI allows developers to write less code, but it shouldn't make us understand less. If you miss writing code, it just means you still truly care about the craft itself.

> I miss writing code

This hits hard. I used to feel a joy and sense of pride in finishing a day.

I am trying to find joys in other ways, like shipping quickly while keeping quality but engineering really has changed in a short space of time.

之前一直都是在研究高并发，多线程等技术，现在也很少看了

Who are you people not writing code?

There isn’t a single SOTA model on the market that writes code as nicely as I write it.

I can only suspect these people saying they write no code have zero taste, because that’s the only way I can understand accepting the unsophisticated garbage these models produce.
