The terminal-first approach is what makes it different from Cursor or Copilot — you're not in an editor, you're just describing what you want done and it goes and does it. Reads the actual codebase, not just the file you have open, which matters a lot on larger projects where things are spread across 30 files. The computer use feature is genuinely impressive when it works — watching it open a browser, test something, notice it broke, and fix it without you touching anything is still a bit surreal. My only gripe is the $17/month entry point feels steep if you're only dipping into it occasionally and don't hit your usage ceiling. But if you're building something serious day to day, the time it saves pays for itself pretty quickly.

Have been using Claude Code in the terminal and it has changed how I approach bigger tasks. It reads the codebase, makes edits, and runs commands with real context instead of just autocompleting, and you stay in control while it does the heavy lifting. Strong recommend for developers who want an agent that actually ships work.
I've been using Claude Code for a few weeks now and it's been a game-changer for my development workflow, the way it understands my codebase and suggests edits has saved me so much time. The Individual plan has been perfect for my solo projects, but I'm considering upgrading to the Team plan as my team grows.
