This month, I finally started using Claude Code seriously.

Honestly, I deeply regret not paying for it sooner.
The experience is different enough that I keep thinking I should have started way earlier.

What shocked me the most was realizing I could run Claude Code remotely from the iOS app.
The moment I understood I could check progress and give instructions from my phone while out and about, something shifted for me.
If this is possible, I want to keep development running all the time, which makes me want a Mac mini, and makes me want to sign up for an even bigger plan.
I had been assuming that "development time" only happens when I'm sitting at my PC. That assumption just fell apart.

Up until now, I'd been building with Antigravity.
I was honestly torn about whether to switch, but after this experience, I think it's settled: I'm going to keep growing with Claude Code.
There's also something to be said for committing to one tool and using it to the fullest, rather than hopping between them — it's faster in the end.

Around the same time, I canceled Google AI Pro.
The biggest reason is that Gemini 3.5 Pro still hasn't shown up. I'd been waiting for it, so honestly, it was disappointing.
The 5TB of Drive storage that comes with it turned out to be unnecessary too, once I thought about it calmly — I already have a lifetime pCloud plan.
When I counted up the reasons to keep the subscription versus the reasons to cancel it, the "cancel" side won out.

That said, it's not that I've come to dislike Gemini itself.
Gemini does a lot of heavy lifting at work, and I still genuinely like working with GWS and Gemini. That hasn't changed.
But now that I've started bringing Claude Code into the mix this month, it feels like Claude Code has become the foundation of my work, with GWS and Gemini as the tools I use on top of it.

Anyway, Claude Code is the best. A little late to realize it, but here we are.
