Claude Code is like crack cocaine for CRIMPers

I recently discovered Claude Code (CC), a separate app from Claude AI specifically for software development, though they share many features, and you can use the same plan on both. As the title says, it is like crack cocaine for those of us who constantly like to try new apps or tweak the settings on existing apps.

Want a new feature in Raycast? Have CC write you an extension for it! Want a new action script for Drafts? Have CC write it for you. An open-source browser extension doesn’t work how you like? Have CC fork the code and fix it. If the Pro plan didn’t have a limited number of tokens, I’d be developing my own apps from scratch.

And I’m not even talking about the ways you modify Claude itself by writing new skills for it. For instance, I wrote a Claude code skill to interact with a Zotero MCP and format search results for Logseq… or more precisely, I used the “skill creation skill” to write it for me.

Claude Code has completely transformed how I use my computer, but it is too addictive. I really need to spend less time CRIMPing and more time doing my actual job!

Posted here because I figured I’d find a sympathetic audience.
