I don't write code anymore – I sculpt it
Summary
The author describes a shift from writing code to sculpting the output produced by AI coding assistants like Claude-code. After obtaining a working base, they refine the code to remove bloat, ensure reusability, and align with original goals, emphasizing big-picture thinking and craftsmanship over line-by-line generation. The piece argues that current coding AIs aren’t yet creative or capable of critical judgment, and human prompts and oversight remain essential.
