I will definitely be getting this regardless of price or specs. I'm no hard core gamer and I play Balatro, Vampire Survivors and occasional online Halo 2 with friends. This is perfect.
Too bad YouTube doesn't have a proper API for building 3rd party clients. I would love to build one and use it on my SteamDeck and on the big TV with the SteamMachine.
I think that if you build a solid foundation of your project and can articulate somewhat well what it is you want it to do, then you can expect a pretty good result. I typically limit my prompt to a specific file, often specify the lines and outline some of the logic and add references to other files where necessary. Then, Claude gets just enough context to to do what I want it to do.
Another trick I learnt is you can ask Claude to ask you comprehensive questions for clarification. Usually, it will then offer you a choice of 3 options per question that it might have and you can steer it towards the right implementation.
For professional work, I like to offload some annoying bug fixes to Claude and let it figure it out. Then, perusing the changes to make sure nothing silly is being added to the codebase. Sometimes it works pretty well. Other times, for complicated things I need to step in and manually patch. Overall, I'm a lot less stressed about meeting deadlines and being productive at work. On the other hand, I'm more stressed about losing my employment due to AI hype and its effectiveness.
For my side projects, I do like to offload the tedious steps like setup, scaffolding or updating tasks to Claude. Things like weird build or compile errors that I usually would have to spend hours Googling to figure out I can get sorted in a matter of minutes. Other than that, I still like to write my own code as I enjoy doing it.
Overall, I like it as a tool to assist in my work. What I dislike is how much peddling is being done to shove AI into everything.
I was skeptical at first, still am somewhat. However, I've been using OpenAI's app and its new search engine feature I can't see myself going back to traditional search engines.
I use copilot with Claude for software development, I cannot see myself going back to traditional autocomplete.
However, I do not see how else AI will revolutionize anything else especially now that they've hit the limits of what is currently possible with the technology of our time.
A lot of you who are supporting this are unaware that to enforce this, EVERYONE will have to have an online government ID and the government will be tracking EVERYONE's internet activity.
While I think this is a great improvement for building better UIs, it still boggles my mind that React, V in the MVC, needs an entire build step with that many moving parts and complexity.
Hopefully this improves the DX, though. I dread touching anything written in React that is older than 6 months.
