I'm much younger, just 42, but due to other medical problems, my attention span was being reduced. I've been programming profesionally for about 25 years, but the last years I was putting myself more into other roles, because being able to focus on code for a few hours uninterrupted is a luxury that I don't have anymore. I was honestly thinking I'll have to retire early. That was until I've tried Claude Code last year. It feels like a superpower. I can guide it, I can review it, I don't need it for thinking, I need it for writing code and under very strict guidance, it does that well. I feel like this extends the years I can do software well into to the future. In a way, I welcome masses thinking AI can produce software on it's own, it gives me hopes for more earning in the future for me.
