Coding assistance tools have been a game-changer for many developers and hobbyists. As one user noted,
My most abandoned type of projects are video games. I have a folder with tens of abandoned projects, I re-frame them as experiments at that point.
Success Stories
Many users have reported success with coding assistance tools. For example,
I once had a project for a simple app that would display bars that got smaller as the day/week/month got shorter, and would show the weather as a set of bars between max temp and min, cloud cover, etc. I threw it at Claude Code, told it what I wanted the graphical interface to look like, and let it run. It got an app exactly what I wanted, and even found a bug in the date parser that I hadn’t noticed.
Another user reported,
With Claude Code I finally got the one I really wanted out in two months. Building it has been the best hobby I’ve found. Beats games or scrolling. When you’ve been carrying an idea for years, the app that finally ships has more of you in it, and I’d bet we’ll see a lot more of these from solo builders.
