Today I finally made the shift from ChatGPT to Claude. GPT largely remains a sycophant, and Claude appears to be leagues ahead in terms of code generation. Let's see if there's any noticeable difference in the upcoming weeks. What is everyone else using these days (for personal use)?

i've been reflecting a lot lately on how so much of getting better as a developer doesn't show up in your commit history. it takes months and has no real PR/ artifact to show for it until one day you just... notice you got better at something. wrote a post on it:

I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin: - creating worktrees - stacked diffs - code reviewer - ticket created & populated - resources linked to ticket - pr reviewers / ticket subs - status updates
