It's all relative

You don’t have to be an amateur, just because you use AI tooling.

You can use Claude Code, and be a great programmer.

You may not use Claude Code, and still remain a terrible programmer.

I knew people who never used code completion on principle. They didn’t get far.

Also knew people who used all kinds of tools, and didn’t get far, either.

It’s all relative.

Use whatever moves you forward.
