Another way to look at it, some developers like to code, others like to build. If you're a builder, Claude Code is like the best dream you've ever had about coding.
I'm also in the about-to-retire camp, and I feel the same way. I wake up wanting to code again. It's like having superpowers and a team of helpers that won't get bored or give you lip. As I see it, there are two types of developers: those who want to build solutions and those who love writing code. I love building things. So I can do it without sweating every bug or architecture challenge. If you want Claude to craft great code, that's going to be a problem, for now at least
