Claude Code has radically changed what it means for me to be a programmer. It's made me much more productive. I’m able to get work done in hours that would have previously taken me days. On the surface it probably looks like I’m only about 1.5x more productive in terms of time to deliver results, but when you factor in that the quality of the code I can write in the same amount of time is now much higher because coding agents make it cheaper to put in the effort to write high quality code, it's easily a 3x-5x increase in total productivity, assuming you agree with me that quality code is valuable.

The natural questions to ask are “how do I do it?” and “can you do it, too?”

Let's tackle these questions in order.
