I have tried various AI code assistants in the past (Copilot, Aider, etc.), but nothing really stuck. Recently, I have been using Claude code some. This tool runs in the terminal and seems like a better fit for my workflows, which are centered around the terminal, instead of an editor like VS Code. So far, I’m impressed with what it can do – anything from adding a feature to some Elm code to proofreading a blog post.
Claude code also offers a very reasonable pay-as-you-go model, which is a good fit for trying it out or occasional use.
Has anyone else tried Claude code? What do you think of it?
