Claude Code is the ChatGPT moment repeated and awful news for software stocks

I do think coding agents are very important and will have widespread impact. But this article seems like rather vague hand-waving about the future?
djmips•42m ago
My opinion is that Claude Code is the first viable leverage of the LLM technology so comparing it to a 'ChatGPT moment' is odd to me.
HNisCIS•31m ago
Analyst slop, he's trying to say that Claude code is like the moment that chatgpt was released and everyone went apeshit for AI. The future he's describing is vaguely plausible in a narrow set of use cases a decade from now but he needs to justify the paycheck so here we are.
xnx•37m ago
I see this with the disproportionate amount of hype around "Claude Code" specifically vs. AI coding in general. Eventually people realized that there was AI chat beyond the brand-name "Chat GPT" and that Gemini was just as good (and often better).
z0r•36m ago
Vague nonsense
throwup238•36m ago
Get ready folks, another breathless hype wave incoming!

Don't get me wrong, I somewhat agree that there's been a sea change with Opus 4.5 in the usefulness of Claude Code, but it stills goes off the rails at the drop of a hat in the dumbest and most frustrating ways. Actually trying to use it to develop even a nontrivial greenfield project from scratch requires carefully reviewing its code to make sure it stays on track.

kankerlijer•29m ago
Perhaps journalists are just trying to make fetch^^^^^Claude happen, but I've noticed it popping up a bit more (The Atlantic): https://archive.is/6YvPh
njhnjh•25m ago
You write like someone who hasn't tried Claude Code.

We're less than a calendar year away from AGI and ignorant luddites still want to pretend the entire world hasn't shifted under their feet.

kankerlijer•23m ago
Not at all, I just like to pay special attention to how the normies view AI. I have nothing to add to the debate over whether it's good, but I will adjust myself to its impact.
saagarjha•21m ago
You will find that people will take you more seriously if you don't try to claim that AGI is here.
njhnjh•20m ago
Have you used Claude? The writing is on the wall.
falloutx•4m ago
Dont bait people here. Claude is good but its not great, consumer is not gonna be able to generate GTA 6 any time soon. May be never
falloutx•28m ago
This article makes no sense. Wouldn't software companies make more money if Claude Code is good, as they have to pay less to the SDEs?

Genuinely confused here.

njhnjh•24m ago
why would you pay for software you can generate for free?
falloutx•23m ago
Try generating Figma through Claude Code before you can say that. Classic software is full of human ingenuity and replicating each feature looks easy on the surface, but when you get into it, it slowly becomes impossible.

Note: Figma was just an example of the complex software.

njhnjh•22m ago
Figma is old-world technology. The future is on-demand LLM image generation.
falloutx•7m ago
> The future is on-demand LLM image generation.

Why even generate an image then. Why don I just use dribbble / behance and pick the best design

SoftTalker•17m ago
So you're going to generate Quickbooks on the fly every time you need to make an accounting journal entry?
jon-wood•23m ago
The theory (which I don't really think stands up) is that software companies will lose value because everyone just gets an LLM to generate them the software they need instead.
falloutx•19m ago
This theory falls apart because I dont think a regular internet user can just generate something complex like Photoshop/Figma/Final Cut Pro via LLMs.

Even hardcore top level engineer wont be able to do it just via LLMs

waffletower•17m ago
A common belief is that an experienced software developer steers AI (whether via Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Opencode, browser et al) much more effectively than a "layperson". I concur.
falloutx•14m ago
I doubt any single engineer of any level can steer AI into building something complex like lets say Photoshop.

Most of the recent completely vibe coded projects dont do anything as complex as that, they are usually just tiny websites or some slop tui

sixtyj•24m ago
This is really odd. They are incomparable in terms of the scope that these companies have.

I have used all major tools: OpenAI (chat, api), Google Gemini (ai studio, api, cli, antigravity) and Claude (chat, code and api). Mostly for coding issues to solve.

Claude Code gives usable results almost instantly for small scripts and it can live. Gemini CLI tells me that it doesn't have this and that - I have tried pushing Gemini to deliver production-quality code. No chance.

I use the same style of coding instructions for all tools.

But difference is in hours. I had a Claude session - result was in minutes, Gemini - hour and in many rounds.

On the other side, Gemini Canvas is really powerful as it makes usable app/tool inside Gemini so you don’t have to know how to run Python or PHP.

And OpenAI has very powerful chat.

So all of them seem to have different focus groups…

ls612•21m ago
So I’m not proud to admit that for my recent work (which has been 90% data science stuff in Julia) I’ve been still just using Gemini via the webpage for coding and it’s pretty effective for me, what is the most user friendly way to get started with Claude Code? Is there a nice VSCode integration out there?
falloutx•17m ago
Yes you can install it as a VSCode extension or use it from terminal. Effect is same.

But for your use-case, I would think Gemini cli is better, since gemini does seem to excel in Data Analytics tasks for me.

waffletower•12m ago
Yes, admittedly, since the Gemini 3 release, I have switched to using Gemini 3 via Opencode and the Gemini CLI, largely.
waffletower•13m ago
Claude Code is a command line CLI. There are many like it -- Opencode, aider, Gemini CLI -- you launch the CLI in a software project directory and ask it to code interactively. It can navigate source files and create them. I prefer the approach to Cursor, however, there is a vscode extension for Claude Code as well: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code
