It Started with the Terminal
I've always liked the terminal. It reminds me of Notepad — something that existed before everything got complicated. It's clean. No noise. No distractions.
And honestly? It's not scary. I think people see a black screen with text and assume it's only for "real developers." But it's just... a place to type things and make them happen.
It's like writing in a notebook, but one that responds. That's what makes it unique. That's what makes it magic.
Finding Claude Code
I've been a fan of Anthropic for a while. When Claude Code came out, I tried it and something clicked.
I realized I could do *a lot* from here. Not just code stuff — everything.
Now I manage:
- This blog (creating posts, updating content)
- My projects (updates, fixes, new features)
- Migrations from Lovable to my own setup
- Automations I never thought I'd build myself
Basically, what we're doing right now.
My Setup
I used to have a million browser tabs open. Now I have multiple desktops, each one dedicated to a project:
- Desktop 1: Day-to-day stuff
- Desktop 2: uglysweater.xyz — browser + localhost + terminal
- Desktop 3: This blog — updating, writing posts
- Desktop 4: rolo.pet — same setup
It sounds more complicated, but it's actually simpler. Everything has its place. I switch between desktops instead of hunting for tabs.
Why Not Cursor?
I've always admired people who use Cursor. It looks powerful.
But for me? It's overwhelming. Too many panels, too many options, too much visual noise. It suffocates me with buttons and things I don't need.
Claude Code is just... text. I type what I want, it does the thing. Maybe it feels easier because I came from Lovable and other vibe-coding platforms. The conversation-based approach makes sense to my brain.
The terminal doesn't suffocate me. It doesn't overwhelm me with buttons and options. It's simple. It's focused. It feels like home.
The Cost Thing
In the last few months, I was spending quite a bit on platforms like Lovable. It adds up.
Then I found the magic here.
Now I'm updating my Lovable projects directly from Claude Code — without spending more. It's becoming my new technical workflow.
I've been creating websites and helping companies digitalize for a while now. But this? This feels more powerful than anything I've seen before. It gives me so much creative capacity that I don't even have enough time for all the things I want to build.
But here I am, updating this blog. And I love it.
The Meta Part
Here's the crazy thing: I'm dictating this post right now.
I'm using Wispr Flow, speaking in Spanish, and sending it directly to Claude Code in the terminal. Claude already knows my style, my voice, my projects. I don't need to over-design anything. I just talk, and it becomes a published post in English.
This is what I mean by automation. This is what I mean by magic.
