Claude Code: My AI-Powered Terminal Assistant Saves Me an Hour a Day

For two months, I've run Claude Code in "dangerously-skip-permissions" mode on macOS, bypassing all permission prompts. While risky (I use robust backups), it's saved me about an hour daily. Claude Code isn't just a smarter command line; it's a universal computer interface. I use it for everything from migrating Macs and converting blog posts to generating test data, managing Git, and automating system tasks. Its command-line-first design and ability to understand context make it highly efficient, though response time can be a limitation. Unlike Warp, Claude's "dangerous mode" allows for continuous workflow without constant permission requests. This represents a paradigm shift in developer tools – from command execution to intent understanding and action. It's not about AI replacing developers, but about developers becoming orchestrators of powerful systems.
