“Code” in the name doesn’t mean developers only

Next time you’re tempted to assume “code” in the name means developers only, remember that many people, including non-engineers, are finding a lot of value using Codex, and/or Claude Code, as a harness for non-software tasks.

I use Claude Code for some personal projects, without an engineering background or task.

What have you used these tools for?
