@rubenerd@bsd.network @exchgr@mastodon.world also, note that weather app has all the things I probably wouldn't have bothered doing on a small throwaway project because they're tedious: Good test coverage, every static analysis option possible, nice packaging and automatic deployment to the server when tagging a release via Github actions. All that would have taken me days to write by hand, even though that's exactly the kind of stuff I do every day at work, versus a few minutes of prompting and occasionally correcting.

@swelljoe@mas.to @rubenerd@bsd.network counterpoint: i was trying claude code with opus 4.6 today at work for the first time on a hefty refactor, and it was…fairly slow and tedious to use. while it certainly can use tools to analyze and spit out quite a volume of code fairly quickly, i’m also accounting for time lost coercing it to correct its own errors, of which there were more than a few, and which a less experienced dev would certainly have missed
