Claude Code: the AI pair-programmer that actually lives in your terminal

I've tried every AI coding tool and this is the one that stuck. It runs right in your terminal, reads your whole repo, and edits real files instead of spitting out snippets you copy-paste. The difference is it understands context across your codebase, so it's less "autocomplete" and more like a junior engineer who never gets tired. If you write code for a living, spend one afternoon with it and you won't go back.
