I remember my first words I said when tested the claude code... for me, an software engineer with over 10 years of experience it was like a god mode. I can basically do anything I want, having my domain knowledge, experience and hundreds of closed projects but... now after months of using it I can clearly see the coding problem is not solved.

Working on more complex problems still takes a lot of time, the models get lost, often jumping into a "solving loop" where the same solutions are being tested over and over again. You still need to guide the model, guide the loop otherwise it's lost or it's shipping a wrong solution, often even something different. Don't you now spend much more time on reading the results? iterating? Nothing changed, it's just a different way you're getting to the right place. Without a good software engineering knowledge you can't do a bulletproof, secure and high grade software. We're still far from doing a single prompt and getting a great grade output.

We might be heading that direction so personally I'm focusing on improving my soft skills, improving my general knowledge about the business, many skills around software engineering (closed to the client side, closer to the business) that until now were useless (at least I thought so).

This is an amazing time for experienced software engineers, learn more than before, try new things and this god mode will bear fruit!
