I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

Yeah, the tipping point from these coding assistant creating slop, to being usable is a fairly recent thing. I'm not a coder, I'm a security engineer. So I'm used to handing over trust to a tool or SaaS service. Guardrails and layered controls are the key.

I think the skills we're learning right with how to make coding assistant write good code is a marketable skill. I feel like were back in the early days of the cloud learning a new skill that's cutting edge.

Anywho, just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your blog post. I too am struggling with all the complexities and externalities of AI.
