I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

I do not want to let go, but I recognize the power of this pull. Feeling this for myself has only reinforced my belief that these models constitute an addictive substance. They alter cognition in ways deleterious to human prosperity. In other words, for as much output as they provide, they take something important from us.

Sounds like a deal with the devil to me
