Any good demos of what claude code can do?

In what area? I've been able to get it to do pretty much whatever I've tried it with so far, although probably Codex produces better code overall, even with the same prompts, and also have a web version. Although personally I prefer the CLIs.

Im still learning. All i know is claude.ai website chat. I thought claude code was a different thing. Not sure what codex is yet. Ive been using gemini assist in vscode for a week now, its kinda like just using it on the web but of course it edits your for you. Sometimes it ‘cant apply the changes though’

For Claude Code, you pay $20 for pro, then npm -g install @anthropic-ai/claude-code. Then invoke claude on your terminal.

It is a different thing, in a sense, because you can install command line tools that far surpass the Claude client’s tooling. Pandoc, curl, imagemagick, etc. Without these tools, CC will often write ad hoc scripts. The tools you have installed (provided you tell it) will always be better and more efficient.

Network chuck had a great video on gemini cli and claude code. I understand now a lot more about what this is now. cheers. https://youtu.be/MsQACpcuTkU
