Claude Code didn’t make me faster. It changed the calendar. What used to take me months now takes weeks. Work didn't vanished, the friction did.

Two years ago I was a human USB cable: copy, paste, pray. IDE <-> chat window, piece by piece. Now the loop is tighter. The distance is shorter.

There’s still hand-holding. Still judgment. Still cleanup. But the shift is real.

We’ve come a long way. And we’re not done.
