I tend to be sceptical when it comes to LLM based coding tools but many people seem to be raving about huge productivity gains which I wouldn’t mind as well.

However when trying cc it left me vey disappointed. For context I’m working on a relatively greenfield rust project and gave it tasks that I would consider appropriate for a junior level colleague like:

- change the return type of a trait and all it’s impls

- refactor duplicate code into a helper function

- replace some of our code with an external crate

it didn’t get any of them correct and took a very long time. Am I using the tool wrong?

How are you using cc or other agentic tools?

With Cursor for the last 6 months, and ClaudeCode for the last 2 weeks, I went from building one/two apps/websites a year for me and my friends, to launching a new MVP in a few days.

I now have 5-10 small services running, whatever "thing" I think I need I create it and self host it.

It's such a revolution.
