I started using Claude Code on Friday, and have a couple insights after a day of using it. The initialization process over a code repository is very cool, and it's ability to conform to your codebases style is awesome. It also seems like it will pick up on library usage like avoiding spys in mockk

My biggest win with Claude was that after a few hours of using it to author some otherwise dry and repetitive unit tests through some important code, was that *I* still felt fresh. I wasn't exhausted by the banality of getting them done, I didn't procrastinate. I still felt, hours into my work day

Like I could still stand up to new challenges before the day was done. That in and of itself is a superpower of this technology. We as software engineers love solving problems. Claude Code doesn't remove that, it's just another lever. It assists us in writing the boring stuff, so we can focus on
