I'm sure after you've had Claude build it, you learned a ton of how to build such a thing (I certainly did for my projects).

Basically, the data model is dead simple, you just spin up a SQLite db, create a React frontend, grabbing a good drag and drop library that implements these cards, write some simple but decent looking CSS, some React and backend boilerplate to wire the thing together - and boom - you're done.

This sounds simple when I write like this, but the complexity comes from knowing what library to use, figuring out its API, and assembling the whole thing together - which Claude is great at, but once you see the whole thing put together, you come to understand these things as well, and become more skilled at building stuff like this.

But i don’t want to learn how to do that. I already know how to write code and i have built a bunch of production rust apps from scratch. I would prefer if i never have to write code. I don’t enjoy writing code, don’t take pride in having that skill. I enjoy the process of identifying a problem and producing a solution to that problem. Coding is just something i had to learn how to do in order to solve problems.

The absolute moment that ai is capable of producing all the useful code for a project I probably will never write another line of code again.
