Re: A staff engineer's journey with Claude Code

Does anyone have a link to a video that uses Claude Code to produce clean robust code that solves a non trivial problem (ie not tic tac toe or a landing page) more quickly than a human programmer can write? I don’t want a “demo”, I want a livestream from an independent programmer unaffiliated with any AI company and thus not incentivised to hype. I want the code to have subsequently been deployed in production and de…

I guess someone could make such a video, the question is, would anyone have the patience to watch it.

Most of the code I write is greenfield projects. I’m pretty spoiled, I guess. Claude Code has helped me ship a lot of things I always wanted to build but didn’t have time to do.

I agree. Based on my very subjective and limited experience (plus friends/colleagues), when it comes to producing solutions, what you get from AI is what you get from your 2-day hackathon—then you spend months making it production-ready.

And your starry-eyed CEO is asking the same old question: How come everything takes so long when a 2-person team over two days was able to produce a shiny new thing?!. sigh

Could be used for early prototyping, though, before you hire your first engineers just to fire them 6 months later.

People live stream their work all the time, it's really not unreasonable to ask for an example/tutorial on how to use the technology in the real world.

It’s about time these types of articles actually include the types of tasks being “orchestrated” (as the author writes) that aren’t just plain refactoring chores or React boilerplate. Sanity has quite a backlog of long-requested features and the message here is that these agents are supposedly parallelizing a lot of the work. What kind of staff engineer has “80% of their code” written by a “junior developer who doesn…

Yes exactly. Show us the code and we can evaluate the advice. Otherwise it’s just an advertisement.

> You want someone to spend their time to live-stream their codebase and them working on it using Claude code, which will then make it into production, going through all the processes on a non-greenfield project just so you can be convinced that it is worth it

Why not? Plenty of people stream their work that later makes into production. Gaming community for example has no end of people building their games publicly.

And yet, for all the "amazing one-shot capabilities that obviate the need for programmers" no one streams working with any of the AI tools.

All we have is unverifiable claims like yours.

Firstly the OP asked has anyone done it, not will they do it.

Secondly, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
