The Future is Here

I truly believe that Claude Code and coding agents are the future. Graduating RIT in May 2026 with a degree in Interactive Development, I started my schooling without powerful coding LLMs and ended it surrounded by insane advancements in AI. MCP servers, fully autonomous agents like MoltBot, the vast amount of skills and tools that have been built for LLMs like Remotion (letting Claude Code generate videos), NotebookLM integration for deep research, and so much more.

As I have been building more and more projects for both myself and others, the power of tools like Claude stands out more and more. It has its place. And that place is growing fast.

For Web Development, It Is Amazing

For web development, basic apps, and similar work, it is incredible. Multiple agents can be deployed like a team of developers, making changes lightning fast, and for dirt cheap. People say it generates slop, but honestly, it is simply learning and growing.

Given the right instructions, skills, and references, it can generate amazing animations, write clean code, and even optimize the time complexity of functions. The output is directly proportional to the effort you put into guiding it.

What About More Intensive Work?

For more intensive development, like quantitative finance and algorithmic trading, a deep understanding of your systems is necessary. Everything has to be ultra-optimized for speed so you don't lose the edge over the market.

I am 100% sure that given proper instructions, references, training data, and skills, Claude could create an extremely efficient backtesting and execution system. We are not far from that being a reality.

The Bigger Picture

All in all, I don't believe LLMs or vibecoding are inherently bad, though they are different from traditional development. They allow one person to do the work of ten.

They shift the entire programming skillset from one of deep understanding of relevant languages and libraries, to one of deep understanding of system design, prompting, and the true extent of what AI can do. The developers who thrive will be the ones who learn to think in systems, not just syntax.
