I would quit my job and start my own freelance consulting business. No doubt my employer would hire me and I could escape the internal bureaucracy I have to deal with. Probably do part time as well.
This is a common refrain I've seen over at r/ClaudeCode. I don't use Claude Code enough to notice it personally, but the anecdotes suggest the experience is amazing right after a new model drops - only for performance to gradually degrade as more users adopt it and saturation hits. Then the cycle restarts with the next model release. Curious to hear other people's experiences.
It looks like you have not reviewed r/ClaudeAI. This is a much larger subreddit and most of the posts are about Claude Code. Many comparisons of CC vs Codex.
This sub is full of "vibe coders" that use "prompt engineered" 1000 line prompts with 500 MCPs and then complain that they reach their limit in the first day while using the 200$ max plan.
Give it a shot and report back. You could try this tactic:
"Lopez admitted that she waited in front of the county jail for hours, intent on assaulting an officer. She reportedly explained that her goal was to get arrested and be put in jail so she would be forced to stop smoking cigarettes."
It's hard to live both at the macro level and the micro level at the same time. Seniors are charged with the macro, the big picture design choices. Juniors are charged with the micro, implementing user stories. AI makes seniors stronger because it is very good at giving micro-level awareness with little time investment. It's a powerful bit of leverage to drive execution.
