I am a C, C++ and Go developer and have been avoiding AI for past couple of years. About 2-3 years ago, I have started using Copilot, but wasn't satisfied with the results, so I went back to "classic" development. Things have changed for me around 6 months ago when I have discovered Claude Code. At first, I was using the 20$ version and was surprised how much better it was. I started using it for my personal jobs and clients and then quickly reached the limits and decided to go for the more expensive offers.

Nowadays, I feel like I am mostly just planing out projects in detail with custom prompts, custom MCP servers and just let it do it's work before the code review.

How are you using these tools and how did it change your life/workflows?

As much as I like it, I feel less excited about programming new things.

Recently I was researching about DHTs and developed a DHT Sniffer in Go which connects to some known DHT Routers and sniffs all the annoucements. I've quickly added ZincSearch and it is now basically a search engine which can search for hashes, name or files contained in the torrents. It is able to index around 5-10k annoucements per second, so the index grows quite fast.

Now, I am thinking about releasing it as open-source for others to study, but not sure if I should, because it might be used for "evil".
