Claude Code: Three Months In
A quick reflection on how Anthropic's terminal agent has changed my day-to-day life as an engineer.
It has been three months since I shared my first impressions of Claude Code, and my enthusiasm has only grown.
As a Staff Engineer, my calendar is usually a graveyard of back-to-back meetings. What used to be a frustrating cycle of "context switching" has been replaced by a streamlined orchestration flow. I can now drop into a repository, initialize a Claude Code session, and have a complex refactor underway while I'm preparing for my next design review.
The tool is making life as a developer demonstrably better. It is not just about the speed of writing code. It is about the reduction in cognitive load. I no longer have to spend my limited "deep work" windows on the mechanics of grep or boilerplate.
If you still haven't moved your primary development tasks to the terminal, you are working harder than you need to. The future of agentic engineering is already here, and it is making us all more effective humans.
