Was using AI in my job to assist with coding work sparingly until this year where I decided to go all in. Been using Claude code everyday so far in 2026, both in my job and some personal projects. I’ve had wow moments where I couldn’t believe how good it was but also got stuck in situations where I’ve lost a lot of time trying to steer it in the right direction after some big fuck ups. One thing I’m sure of is that If you don’t understand systems architecture you’ll have trouble building anything complex that is robust and secure as things stand today. I’ve had success so far by documenting and setting requirements, rules and restrictions as I go in many markdown files in a project. Lots of conversations flushing out the detail before allowing it to write any code. When I don’t do this things can fall apart pretty quickly
