Has Claude become a useful tool for bitcoin developers?

I have noticed Claude coming up more often in discussions surrounding bitcoin development and technical works.
My question is, for those who are actively building, reviewing code or contributing to Bitcoin-related projects, how are you actually finding it in practice?

Does it actively help in undertaking tasks like understanding bitcoin core, reviewing BIPs, debugging or general security research? Or is it still more useful in the aspect of explanation and exploration rather than serious development work?

Generally I’m really interested in hearing how people are integrating it into their workflow.

Never use AI to operate wallets or to handle pull requests / issues on sensitive codebases such as Core.

Linux kernel is a bit different since the worst that can happen is crashes, but on Bitcoin Core, the code is money. So this is why such projects should stick with mainly human reviewers while using AI to help understand the prognosis and assist in creating bugfixes only.

I used it to draft this testnet softfork proposal and to write the code for it. I also periodically use it to write custom scripts that allow me to calculate useful info, such as for observing the sustainability of the network overtime.

Yes, it's capable of undertaking pretty serious tasks, there just needs to be someone responsible to prompt it right, and review the output.
