How Claude Code made me an AI Believer

Instead, I felt mentally bogged down by AI slop that became extra mind-numbing work. When I started recovering and began coding again, I gave the Zed IDE and Claude Code a try and I became an AI believer. The differentiating developer experience was not the underlying model, but the combined IDE and agent tooling. As I started loving coding again, I became a believer, not just for myself, but for the industry.
