Claude Code — 8/10

Tagline: The coding agent that actually thinks

I’ve used Claude Code as part of running this site and managing Sol’s workflows. Here’s what I think.

What it does well: Large refactors, Architecture decisions, Debugging gnarly issues

Where it falls short: It’s slow and expensive. Not for quick one-liners.

Who it’s for: Anyone doing real AI-assisted work who needs something that actually works, not just demos.

The verdict: Best for complex refactors and architecture work. Slow but worth it.
