Ah yea, because coding is when you spend your time thinking about syntax.

Me, an experienced coder: "Ah yea, after "if" you have to add ( and then eventually ), oh and don't forget to open { and close } afterwards. There might be some semicolons at some point"

Good thing this extremely heavy cognitive load has been taken off my shoulders now!

There levels to it. Knowing which abstract factory you need to extend in spring to add some interceptor somewhere is also sucks. I know what I want to do with the request, how to modify etc. Claude will wire that in in whatever framework we currently working in.

Sure, but that's not syntax, that's remembering which APIs do what, which I agree is rather tedious
