@ArneBab @Ruth_Mottram @hausfath yes I reviewed the code. I worked with it to define the architecture and choose technologies. They are technologies I'm familiar with. The code is as good or better than I would write. It was far more thorough with edge cases. It handled error states better than i would have. I'm using it to build a new project, maybe it will reach a point where it is no longer helpful but I haven't seen any evidence of that. Software is just dramatically cheaper to produce now.

I realise on the fediverse this is maybe asking for a flaming, but yesterday out of sheer curiosity I tried Claude for a simpleish coding task that I'd been putting off (largely inspired by @hausfath 's latest on #theclimatebrink). -

I built a workout tracking app I've been thinking about building for a year. It took about 5 hours of fairly low effort prompting to go from concept to deployed.
Previously this would have been at least a week of full-time high-intensity work. I would probably never would have had the time to do it as a result. These models have fundamentally changed the economics of building software, it's just undeniable at this stage.
