I'm only three weeks into using Claude Code but I'm now seeing impressive results using a structured, "role" or "persona" based approach in a large (500K+ SLOC) Elixir / Phoenix codebase. I'm using the $200 Max plan - so my inference costs are fixed. For certain, the results are better when I use it to build new features into our platform - as opposed to making complicated refactors or other deep changes to existing parts of the system. But even in the latter case, if we have good technical documentation capturing the design and how parts of the system work (which we don't in many places), Claude Code can make good progress. At first I was seeing a fair amount of what I would consider "bad code" - implementation and code that either didn't follow accepted coding style and patterns or that simply wasn't structured for reusability, mainta

Carnegie Mellon University | Remote friendly, Pittsburgh, PA | Junior or Entry-level Software Engineer | Open Source We are looking to add a front-end React/TypeScript software engineer to our team that is leading the development of our open source learning engineering platform. This person would have the opportunity to learn Elixir/Phoenix and thus be able to contribute to the entire system development. The Torus platform (https://github.com/Simon-Initiative/oli-torus) is rapidly growing and gaining attention in the EdTech and Corporate training spaces. Over the past year and a half the development effort has grown from just our small team here at CMU to one now involving multiple partner organizations (both corporate and academic). The project receives code contributions from several different countries and continents on a daily basis.
