I’ll take the other side of this (not sure re: “crypto people” specifics): Claude Code is different in meaningful ways today vs the summer of 2025: Opus 4.5, AskUserQuestion, skills, Slack integration, etc. Significant level up and is very usable to me (non-eng) now. Before, you’d spend almost more time getting all your tooling right and wrangling the thing than doing the actual work.
