From AI as boss to living inside Claude: a developer's three-phase year
pablobongo · reddit · 2026-10-09
A developer describes their year in three phases: January — ChatGPT barking orders while they blindly followed; then Claude building PWAs under their direction until it made better calls than they did; now — no more apps at all. Their grocery list went from a full PWA to an on-demand artifact that turns screenshots into checklists and even learned their in-store ticking order. Punchline: "The app didn't get better. It just stopped needing to exist." The post itself was written by Claude.
