My 8 year old is banned from trash games but allow him to do animation and build things on computers. So he has had Claude build a clone of a game we wouldn't let him play He plays the game and fills notepads with ideas and changes then sets Claude off

I initially thought AI would compress programming ability. It would bring everyone up to a minimum standard. The more I use coding agents the more I think that it will imcrease inequality of programmers. You have to have high level systems knowledge to know what to ask to build

I've used Claude code for a week and it feels incredible to wield and direct so much intelligence I get it to download 1000 open issues, summarise them and look for duplicates + present me with a list to review I provide a lot of context and review every single line and am still absolutely flying
