I talked to a Data Scientist that was apparently paying for Claude Max and making so many apps, only to find out he doesn't even know how to use git or github and has nothing published.
He blabbered about using agents for everything and spending all day making projects. Whereas I'm here struggling to make a directory website with next.js, cursor, prisma, learning backend and making things work.
I still do courses and keep improving, I don't understand why there is so many people that don't read code or use an IDE anymore. So much bullshit, but a lot of leaders, at the same time, are supporting this theory.
I tend to use Google to to research and go through multiple website but do exclusively use AI to solve tech issues. So it really depends on the activity for me.
If that's true, they are using a separate search API to get search results and feed it into a regular Claude API call. The difference here is that Anthropic is integrating it directly, like OpenAI and Google have. It doesn't look like it's in the API yet, but presumably that's coming. Then, as with gpt-4o and the Gemini models, you can make a single API call and it will do the searching for you and incorporate the results.
There are no tricks other to learn how to code and make projects. I don't understand this hype behind all the tools.
