Coding - me & Claude pt 5

Don't debate, don't pontificate, don't procrastinate; just do!

We all the scenario: the dev team is circling a gnarly problem and everyone is divided as to the best solution. We would breakout whiteboards and complete some sketchy diagrams with lines going everywhere, or paper an internal office for event sourcing sessions.

What we didn't do was write code. Writing code felt like a commitment, whereas talking about it could be endless.

I recently managed to procrastinate about a server-side proxy implementation.

My first Claude-assisted implementation was in Typescript that I deployed to the Render free-tier. Everything worked fine but there was something about the code, or more specifically there was too much of it.

I fiddled with it, I purged it, I refactored it but it never really felt tight. Not wrong as such but not tight.

All wasted effort. I pivoted to AWS Lambda function written in Go.

Smaller footprint, fewer files, simpler to deploy but just as secure.

Don't procrastinate, just try.
