A staff engineer's journey with Claude Code

Does anyone have a link to a video that uses Claude Code to produce clean robust code that solves a non trivial problem (ie not tic tac toe or a landing page) more quickly than a human programmer can write? I don’t want a “demo”, I want a livestream from an independent programmer unaffiliated with any AI company and thus not incentivised to hype.

I want the code to have subsequently been deployed in production and demonstrably robust, without additional work outside of the livestream.

The livestream should include code review, test creation, testing, PR creation.

It should not be on a greenfield project, because nearly all coding is not.

I want to use Claude and I want to be more productive, but my experience to date is that for writing code beyond autocomplete AI is not good enough and leads to low quality code that can’t be maintained, or else requires so much hand holding that it is actually less efficient than a good programmer.

There are lots of incentives for marketing at the grassroots level. I am totally open to changing my mind but I need evidence.

> You want someone to spend their time to live-stream their codebase and them working on it using Claude code, which will then make it into production, going through all the processes on a non-greenfield project just so you can be convinced that it is worth it

Why not? Plenty of people stream their work that later makes into production. Gaming community for example has no end of people building their games publicly.

And yet, for all the "amazing one-shot capabilities that obviate the need for programmers" no one streams working with any of the AI tools.

All we have is unverifiable claims like yours.

>amazing one-shot capabilities that obviate the need for programmers

"Amazing one-shot capabilities" is not the same as "an extremely useful tool that saves a ton of time"
