Every time I read stuff like this I honestly wonder if the author is using the same tools I am.

I can have Claude Code bang out everything from boilerplate to a working prototype to a complex algorithm embedded in a very complex and confusing code base. It’s not correct 100% of the time but it’s pretty damn close. And often times it comes up with algorithms I would have never thought of initially.

These things are at least a 10x multiple of my time.

The difficulty is we skeptics have read claims like yours tens of times, and our response is always, "please share a repo built this way and an example of your prompts," and I at least have never seen anyone do so.

I'd love for what you say to be possible. Comments like yours often cause me to take another crack at agentic workflows. I'm disappointed every time.

I can back that claim up. Unfortunately, I've only worked on proprietary codebases and I can't share them. However before I left my previous gig at PermitFlow I was primarily using Claude Code for all of my work.

I don't view LLMs as ways of foregoing the responsibility of writing code and rather see it as my "really smart keyboard". With enough context priming and a well structured codebase I no longer need to spend time writing each line of code and can have Claude do it in a fraction of the time.

I need to start a blog sooner rather than later as I don't agree with the article nor the naysayers. Maybe a year ago I'd say that it's not possible to code with LLM agents. However ever since Cursor's release, LLMs have completely changed my workflow.

Most AI evangelist commenters here end up with the same arguments every time.

You are just not a true scotsman.

And when they link something is one of those repos full of sloop and no code.

I am becoming paranoid and wonder how many people here can even code.

Every time I read something like this I wonder if the author only writes HTML

Popular != true. Galileo found that out by spending the last ~decade of his life under house arrest. Thankfully today we mostly just get downvoted.
