Did some bigger admin tool to do search and matching datapoints etc and decided to only use claude code. First version was wow awesome this saved me so much time .. now 2 weeks later putting back code that was deleted several times, removing 3 copy's of the same code, way to complicated sqls, verbose code and looking how its mixing htmx with some wird own JavaScript. It really looks as a junior developer solutions, so I'm done using it for more then boiler plate things..

I will come back in 3-6 months and hope its better to understand its own limitations.

I'm guessing it would be less then a week for me to write it on my own.

The biggest issue is that I've now seen the shit it creates so I have zero trust in the code I now have from a security and stability standpoint. I know many have better experiences then mine.
