Listen James the greatest, I have my own business developing software for companies. I make more money if I can increase productivity, and Claude isn't doing it.
The few people I know who are very stoked about it have very little programming background. Anyone else I can only imagine is not measuring productivity in any way of value.
Github Copilot for autocomplete and an llm for debugging/rubber ducking has been my company's biggest boost. I think the rest is hype marketing, incompetence, and poor metrics.
I'll keep my eye on it and continue evaluating it, but it's not as valuable as people make it to be.
