Elixir and Erlang devs be like:

Claude Code is getting the full Emacs treatment. Definitely a step up from rigging a terminal wrapper (which I'm still very much doing).

Echoing Steve Klabnik’s feelings, much of the current state of “AI” discussion amongst the dev community feels unproductive and flat out wrong. No the craft is not going away. Yes the craft is changing - it always has been.
