The lesson here shouldn't be that Claude Code is useless, but that it's a powerful tool in the hands of the right people.

Unfortunately, also in the hands of the __wrong__ people.

Maybe even more so, because who is going to wade through all those false positives? A bad actor is maybe more likely to do that.

I'm growing allergic to the hype train and the slop. I've watched real-life talks about people that sent some prompt to Claude Code and then proudly present something mediocre that they didn't make themselves to a whole audience as if they'd invented the warm water, and that just makes me weary.

But at the same time, it has transformed my work from writing everything bit of code myself, to me writing the cool and complex things while giving directions to a helper to sort out the boring grunt work, and it's amazingly capable at that. It _is_ a hugely powerful tool.

But haters only see red, and lovers see everything through pink glasses.

The lesson or the hype mantra?

The same could be said about a Roulette wheel set before a seasoned gambler
