I spent the weekend with Claude Code - absolutely blown away by the experience.
I got my prompt library to production-grade, then built a complete Chrome extension from scratch (authentication, dynamic content injection, the works), and now I’m finishing up a landing page. All in one weekend.
The quality difference is night and day - Claude 4’s reasoning really shines when it can execute iteratively rather than just generating code snippets like other tools.
The only friction: the $20 Pro plan caps out after about 2 hours of intensive work, then you wait 3 hours for reset. But honestly? After seeing what I accomplished in those 2 hours, upgrading to the $100 Max plan was a no-brainer. Sometimes you pay for quality.
If you’ve been frustrated with Cursor’s recent pricing drama and looking for alternatives, Claude Code is worth a serious look.
