Claude Code: The Photography Era of Programming?

This article reflects on six weeks of using Claude Code, an AI coding assistant that has dramatically changed the author's approach to coding. He completed numerous tasks that would have normally taken months or even years, including codebase migrations and building testing strategies. Claude Code enabled a 'write first, decide later' approach and significantly boosted the team's game prototyping efficiency. While acknowledging its imperfections, the author believes Claude Code has fundamentally altered programming paradigms, similar to how photography revolutionized painting.
