Programming

I'm using it for some side projects. I used it as an assistant for setting up services in Kubernetes - also used it a lot for debugging and creating kubectl commands.

another side project is to write a full web app in F# SAFE stack, which uses Fable to transpile to JavaScript and React, so I'm learning several things at once.

At work I didn't use it as much, but it got used to generate tests, since no one really cared enough about them. I also did some cool stuff where someone wrote a guide on how to migrate something from a V1 of a thing to a V2 of a thing, I hooked up MCP to link the doc, asked it to migrate one, and it did it perfectly.

I used it a lot to generate Mongo queries, but they put that feature in MongoDB Compass.

We used Claude Sonnet pretty much exclusively. for my side projects I often use Auto since Sonnet burns through the monthly budget pretty quickly. It definitely isn't as good, but it tends to be favorable for template-y things, debugging why some strange thing is happening in F# or react.

For the side projects, I find I'm using it less as I learn more. It's good for getting over a quick hump if you have a sense of how things generally should be.

I've considered the lakes I've burned because I didn't copy paste those kubectl commands to a file.

I prefer Sonnet. Anything less isn't that great, which is one reason I think people hate it.

I tend to use it for crufty things. And certain front end things. It's been a long time since I've done web UI.
