Developer Experiences Performance Slowdown When Scaling AI-Assisted Coding with Claude Code
By

A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
A developer shares their experience of coding exclusively with Claude Code AI assistant for two months. Initially, they experienced rapid productivity gains and frequent code commits, but as their application grew more complex, the AI coding process slowed significantly. The irony is that the app they're building is designed to parallelize multiple instances of Claude Code simultaneously, yet they still face performance issues with 5+ instances running concurrently.

Now, as I've built up a fairly substantial app, it's slowed to a crawl.
Ironically, the app I'm building lets me parallelize many instances of Claude Code at once.
Often, I'll have 5 instances...
