Claude multiplies your inherent skill as a programmer.

If you're a sloppy programmer you'll get a lot of sloppy code.

If you're a curated programmer you'll get a lot of curated code.

But now the LLMs do that part for free and for everyone.

The balance shifts back to curated programmers, since the LLMs can expand their curated kernel quickly with sloppy code.
