AI coding experiments, Ansible chaos, and that moment when the machine stares back at you… 👀
🧠 My AI Workflow So Far
I’ve been using ChatGPT for over a year now — pretty much daily.
Mostly for generating images, writing code, polishing wording, creating templates,
and of course for researching and summarizing texts.
Basically: if there’s a repetitive brain task, I outsource it to silicon. 🤓💡
🔄 Plot Twist: Trying Claude
Today, kind of by accident, I canceled ChatGPT and decided to try Claude instead.
I’ve read a lot about it, and from what I gather, it might actually have the edge when it comes to coding.
As a full-time nerd, I obviously had to test this theory immediately.
Because reading about tools is nice — but throwing them into production chaos is nicer. 😄
💻 VS Code + Claude Plugin = Nerd Playground
I currently love working with Visual Studio Code, so what really interested me
was integrating Claude via a plugin.
And now I have this setup:
- VS Code
- An Ansible playbook
- 8 roles
- A chat editor directly connected to Claude
Which basically means: the AI is now sitting right inside my dev environment.
Not watching… totally not watching… 👀
🚀 The Experiment
I wrote into the chat:
“Optimize my Ansible code, apply best practices…”
…and BÄÄÄMM!! 💥
The thing has been grinding away for minutes now — finding one issue after another.
Claude basically has full access to the Ansible codebase and is tearing through it like a senior DevOps engineer on caffeine. ☕🐧
Slightly terrifying. Slightly impressive. Definitely nerd-satisfying.
😱 Meanwhile, In My Head… (The Nerd Image Vibes)
If I had to visualize this moment, it would look exactly like that image:
A slightly panicking nerd in a server room, sweating, clutching his laptop,
while an evil-looking AI watches him intensely from a glowing screen.
And yes — he’s still wearing sunglasses. Indoors. At night. In a server room. 😎
Because when an AI starts reviewing your infrastructure code,
you either:
- stay cool
- pretend you planned everything
- or whisper: “Please don’t read my TODO comments…” 😬
The vibe is somewhere between:
“This is amazing”
and
“Oh no… it sees everything.”
⏳ Letting It Cook
For now, I’m just letting Claude do its thing.
Tomorrow I’ll go through the code, check the optimizations, and see:
- how good the improvements actually are
- whether I still understand my own infrastructure
- and if not… I’ll just have Claude generate documentation and explanations too 😄
Because why panic when you can automate your understanding?
