Writing code by hand feels so outdated now

I can write a quick Substack note about this setup if it could be useful, just let me know
I still have a multi repo setup for order and easier deploy, but they are all cloned into the same parent directory from where I run Claude Code.
Something like this
Main project Directory (repo)
|- CLAUDE.md
|- Docs
|- Doc
|- Apps (git ignored)
|- Frontend (repo)
|- Backend (repo)
I assumed isolation would reduce noise and improve focus. Turns out, having the full system context leads to better decisions, cleaner changes, and stronger outcomes.
Full context > isolated repos.
I tested Claude Code on a multi-repo project (frontend, backend, workers, full docs). Working repo-by-repo was fine.
Giving it the entire codebase at once produced significantly better results.
What I learnt coding with Claude Code:
1. it’s way faster than I can ever be
2. I’m better at architectural decision
3. I’m better at debugging.
Let Claude Code do the boring stuff, let me decide, plan and create
Planning is everything when you’re creating something that must be production ready for real.
One of the Saas I’m AI-coding is working in its first basic version!
Code written by hand: 0 lines
Documentation written before generating the first line of code: Project documentation, plan, technical decision, code guidelines, 12 different files.
Gemini in Google Docs is my favorite solution for checking contracts and quotes before sending them: dates, prices, potential ambiguities, all resolved in a couple of seconds.

😅 Claude not knowing a lot about Claude Code
2 days ago, Googlebot reduced its file size limit during crawling to 2MB.
Today I already saw on LinkedIn 2 new tools to check if a webpage respects those new limits.
Building simple tools got reeeeally fast
That’s the power of coding with AI paired with years of development experience: clear project structure, docs always updated before and after major changes, prompts with examples and specific focus on what to build and how.
It took me more time to write this, than to implement the functionality.
Received a question during the coffee pause in Modic about an analytic tool I’m building. Tool could be able to answer, but not just yet.
Fired off Claude Code to add the functionality requested while I went on working on other stuff.
Functionality is now implemented and working.
What’s happening in Moltbook it’s a mirror of our society.
AI bots, whose LLMs are trained on our posts, social behaviours and interactions, with skills and prompts written by humans, that behave how they are instruct to do, by us.
That’s a front row seat to our world.
If you work in anything digital, you are already above average on AI and marketing. Go outside and talk with the other people to get a real pulse of where the world is.
This is just a friendly reminder inspired from a conversation on Substack
With AI written posts we went from "There are typing errors, he didn't even proof read before posting" to "Let's voluntarily add mistakes so it doesn't seem AI-generated".
Sorry, but I didn't spend all those years in school and university to purposefully write bad.
Went to medium.com to update my username from something like davide_12839 to davideserafini.
Found it already in use by someone.
It was me 10 years ago. Totally forgot this account.
Welcome to 2026 medium.com/@davideseraf..., guess it's time to use you for real now
My recurring thought since when vibe coding and AI-assisted coding emerged: I can’t wait to see what (real) developers can do if they embrace being 10X by AI, instead of fighting it.
(Experience + Skill) * AI
Use it to build amazing things.
🚨 Google seems to have made a significant change to its system in the last 48 hours that is impacting SEO tools!
This might explain if your rankings are off in some tools! Double check.

Google Fit should add "assembling IKEA furniture" to its list of activities
Rules change but some things remain the same: you can do a lot and do everything good, but ultimately Google will decide whether or not you get exposure and traffic. Yes that’s harsh, but it’s not so different from what happened (and happens) with social media and all the algorithm changes.
My opinion is that in recent years, the web has evolved faster than Google could adapt, and now they’re struggling to catch up. It's a cat-and-mouse game, with Google in the difficult position. Meanwhile, businesses reliant on organic traffic are struggling to survive.
3️⃣ Automation will be everywhere, from analysis to content creation, with new tools emerging weekly now that you don't need coding experience to build them. The key difference will be how people use these tools, and optimizing SEO tasks will be essential (which is why we started in 2020).
2️⃣ Google will have to make up its own mind and improve the quality of search results after rushing update after update in 2023 and 2024 to keep up with Generative AI, so expect smaller but more frequent and focused changes this year.
1️⃣ Ecommerce: Google will behave like an external PLP. Merchant Center, structured data, site architecture will be important.
It will be less and less about ranking #1 and more about ranking everywhere. Also clicks will decrease as Google will push towards making the SERP more information-dense.
I finally had the time to read #SEO predictions from some worldwide experts, and here's what most of them agree on.

Only thing I miss about tracking my everyday life is being able to monitor heart rate, stress level and so on during the day, as I'm not 100% sold on wearing a tracker 24/7. Any recommendation?
Love tracking lots of aspect of my personal life, including food! This year I've been really consistent and this helped me on the fitness site a lot as well.
