I used Claude last week to build a tool for builds/deploys/etc. I had done this before with a bunch of scripts (sed+awk+ducktape+aws-cli+terraform+jq+gosh...). But now it is a Kotlin-written, GraalVM-to-native, super fast running, proper software project.

Took me 2 days to complete, did not even spend the whole day on it (more like a bit here'n'there while doing other work. Claude's a game changer for these small greenfield projects (probably for more types of prjects, but this is a really sweet spot).
