Try Claude Code. You’ll literally be able to automate 90% of the coding part of your job.

We really need to add some kind of risk to people making these claims to make it more interesting. I listened to the type of advice you're giving here on more occasions than I can remember, at least once for every major revision of every major LLM and always walked away frustrated because it hindered me more than it helped.

> This is actually amazing now, just use [insert ChatGPT, GPT-4, 4.5, 5, o1, o3, Deepseek, Claude 3.5, 3.9, Gemini 1, 1.5, 2, ...] it's completely different from Model(n-1) you've tried.

I'm not some mythical 140 IQ 10x developer and my work isn't exceptional so this shouldn't happen.

The dark secret no one from the big providers wants to admit is that Claude is the only viable coding model. Everything else descends into a mess of verbose spaghetti full of hallucinations pretty quickly. Claude is head and shoulders above the rest and it isn't even remotely close, regardless of what any benchmark says.

Stopping by to concur.

Tried about four others, and to some extent I always marveled about capabilities of latest and greatest I had to concede they didn’t make faster. I think Claude does.

As a GPT user, your comment triggered me wanting to search how superior is Claude... well, these users don't think it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1l5h2ds/i_paid_fo...

That poster isn't comparing models, he's comparing Claude Code to Cline (two agentic coding tools), both using Claude Sonnet 4. I was pretty much in the same boat all year as well; using Cline heavily at work ($1k+/month token spend) and I was sold on it over Claude Code, although I've just recently made the switch, as Claude Code has a VSCode extension now. Whichever agentic tooling you use (Cline, CC, Cursor, Aider, etc.) is still a matter of debate, but the underlying model (Sonnet/Opus) seems to be unanimously agreed on as being in a league of its own, and has been since 3.5 released last year.

I've been working on macOS and Windows drivers. Can't help but disagree.

Because of the absolute dearth of high-quality open-source driver code and the huge proliferation of absolutely bottom-barrel general-purpose C and C++, the result is... Not good.

On the other hand, I asked Claude to convert an existing, short-ish Bash script to idiomatic PowerShell with proper cmdlet-style argument parsing, and it returned a decent result that I barely had to modify or iterate on. I was quite impressed.

Garbage in, garbage out. I'm not altogether dismissive of AI and LLMs but it is really necessary to know where and what their limits are.

		I'm pretty sure the GP referred to GGP's "brain dead CRUD apps" when they talked about automating 90% of the work.
