  • Claude Code first experience

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Sunday, July 12, 2026 17:45:27
    I'm pretty impressed.

    I've got an older photo gallery written around 2000 in PHP, most likely version 4.x.

    Several years back it started throwing errors, turned out that some of the code was deprecated and no longer ran under newer versions of PHP.

    I gave Claude Code a zip file of the gallery, waited 15 minutes and was prompted to download the updated code. Loaded it on my web site, and it runs perfectly!

    I got news for you. You don't even need php for that.
    i used to have (a) php album(s) but i just had it create a script that Processes everything. It looks the same, but works without php.

    I'm aware of that.

    Yeah, I've seen and used static thumbnail generators. I'm not sure of
    your point here.

    It's not a static thumbnail generator.
    You also can make a photo album in .css

    My point is you don't even need php for that.
