6 Weeks of Claude Code
blog.puzzmo.comIt is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks. Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale.

It's pretty amazing what these local open-weight models can do these days. Next up, I want to try integrating local models with CLI-based coding tools like opencode or crush.
