Agreed, it's actually fun again. The evening hours I used to burn with video games and weed are now spent with claude code, rewriting and finishing up all my custom desktop tools and utilities I started years ago.
I had a lot of fun making 'tools' like this, but once I settled into a complicated problem (networking in a multiplayer game), it has become frustrating to watch Claude give back control to me without accomplishing anything, over and over again. I think I need to start using the SDK in order to force it to its job.
As a burnt-out, laid-off aging developer, I want to thank Anthropic for helping me get in love with programming again. Claude Code on terminal with all my beloved *nix tools and vim rocks.
100%. As a burnt-out manager, who doesn't get a lot of spare time to actually code. It's nice to have a tool like CC where I can make actual incremental changes in the spare 15 minutes I get here and there. I spend most of my time making version files with the prompt, but pretty impressed by how far I've gotten on an idea that would have never seen the light of day.... The thoughts of having to write input validation…

So tell us how to safely run this stuff then. I was under the impression that Docker container escapes are actually very rare. How high do you rate the chance of a prompt injection attack against Claude running in a docker container on macOS managing to break out of that container? (Actually hang on, you called me out for suggesting containers like Docker are safe but that's not what I said - I said "a safe container…
That's the secret, cap... you can't. And it's due to in band signalling, something I've mentioned on numerous occasions. People should entertain the idea that we're going to have to reeducated people about what is and isn't possible because the AI world has been playing make believe so much they can't see the fundamental problems to which there is no solution.
I'm currently using Goose[1]. My brother in law uses Claude Code and he likes it. It makes me wonder if I'm missing anything. Can anyone tell me if there's any reason I should switch to Claude Code, or comparisons between the two? 1: https://block.github.io/goose/
Something I realized about this category of tool (I call them "terminal agents" but that already doesn't work now there's an official VS Code extension for this - maybe just "coding agents" instead) is that they're actually an interesting form of general agent . Claude Code, Codex CLI etc can effectively do anything that a human could do by typing commands into a computer. They're incredibly dangerous to use if you d…
One thing I really like using them for is refactoring/reorganizing. The tedious nature of renaming, renaming all implementations, moving files around, creating/deleting folders, updating imports exports, all melts away when you task an agent with it. Of course this assumes they are good enough to do them with quality, which is like 75% of the time for me so far.

does it use the smart refractoring hooks of the IDEs or does it do blunt text replacement
