Claude Code for C++/Qt development

[Sean Reifschneider]

I would try using Claude Code directly, I've entirely stopped using an IDE
and just directly talk to the agents.  I'd likely set it on Fable if you've
got it, Opus if not, on Ultracode effort for building a new program.

I haven't tried any GUI development from the ground up with Claude, but I
did have it port some ancient code from GTK2 to GTK4 a couple months ago
for an Internet friend and it seemed to do a great job.  That was starting
with an existing codebase though.

I lean more towards CLI tools and web apps, I did a test last week of a new
development loop and basically just said "Make a web-based Tempest clone"
and gave it the Wikipedia page for Tempest, here's the result:
