Paul Ford writes in the New York Times on Feb. 18, 2026, that a November improvement in Claude Code transformed it into a far more capable coding assistant. He says the model now sustains hour-long sessions that produce credible websites and apps, enabling him to revive decade-old side projects and complete migrations he would previously have billed at $25,000–$350,000, all while using a $200-per-month Claude plan.
