I just started using Claude Code for my work as a sysadmin. For my work, it's great. I don't need to wrestle with MySQL joins, claude gets even the most complex ones right WAY faster than I would. Same with new Terraform stuff. Things that would have taken me a day are cut to less than an hour.

So for my work, it's made me much better at my job. Much faster and more accurate.

I don’t know.

I can write a simple query before Claude finishes reading, querying the semantic layer, checking my files, then writes a query that I have to approve, reads the results, hides them (ctrl+o usually works), and gives me a summary.

We’ve reached this inflection point where it’s faster for me to do most tasks again.

I’m sure fast mode costing more money plays a role.

Personally I find LLMs absolutely terrible at writing Terraform and full of hallucinations. But also Terraform is my bread and butter and our use/workflow is fairly advanced. And we're multi-cloud + baremetal. That wasn't an area where I was going to get a ton of value out of LLMs anyway.
