Recently, Cobalt Robotics founder Erik Schluntz broke his left hand. Despite this, Schluntz was able to continue coding effectively at his job using voice-to-text software and AI assistant Claude. He was able to write over 3,000 lines of code in one week by way of dictation.
“Breaking my hand forced me to write all my code with AI for two months. I’m never going back,” said Schluntz, adding that the silver lining was that it forced him to live in the future where humans would write very little of their own code — “Honestly, I loved it.”
Schluntz now feels optimistic about where the industry is going, and how to get the most out of these new AI tools. “I’m out of my cast and typing with both hands again, but Claude is still writing most of my code,” he said.
