I did experiment a bit with aider and free models, but my results were inconsistent, and nothing to worry about.

However, recently I have purchased the max plan from anthropic and have been vibing with Claude code since then. And wow, the results are very good. With a good enough prompt, and planning step, it could generate full features in a project with 20k LOC, with very little modifications needed by me after review.

I heard even more success stories from friends who gave Claude 3-4 different features that Claude would develop in parallel.

On top of that, everyone seems to produce side project at an astronomical rate, both among my friends, and here on HN where fully complete project that would take months to develop, seem to appear after few hours with Claude code.

So, my questions is, is programming as a profession cooked?
