For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing around with Claude Code and have found it to be very useful. In particular, I’ve been leveraging it to modernize my RSS Cloud Server project, which has been on the back burner for several years.
It’s very much AI-assisted and not “Vibe Coding” because I know specifically what I want to be improved, and I’m running everything through my extensive tests and doing code reviews. It’s allowing me to take months of work and compress it into hours.
The biggest variable is that I’m so stretched with my new job that I haven’t had the mental bandwidth for side projects. Using Claude Code has allowed me to start checking things off my to-do list and giving myself more margin.
