I partly write words for a living. Claude is really really bad at writing prose that doesn’t make me want to vomit.

I rarely write code, and only once for a living. But I feel like I’m a superhuman and one step away from being a zillionaire when Claude gives me a bunch of code it has written in seconds. I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!!

And then I remember that Claude can’t write words that don’t make me want to break things and I’m good at writing words but bad at writing code.

So then I delete the code and go back to doing more profitable things than being the next zuckerfuck.
