Claude Code: First Impressions
Today I tried Claude Code, the new agentic coding tool announced by Anthropic this morning. Unlike other agentic tools, Claude Code is a CLI tool. Claude has been my favorite AI coding partner so far. I use it via GitHub Copilot and as standalone through its web interface. I was curious to see how it works in CLI and decided to give it a try. In this post, I share my first impressions of using Claude Code - how I set it up, what I loved about it, what I didn’t, and how it compares to other similar tools.
