I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 to code and I’ve managed to build multiple full fledged apps, including paid ones
Maybe they’re not perfect, but they work and I’ve had no complaints yet. They might not scale to become the next Facebook, but not everything has to scale

So I don't really understand where this claim of only "6 months of coding experience" is coming from, when you clearly have been coding on and off for multiple decades.
I trust experience people can make better use of these tools because ideally they should have a foundation of first principles to work off of whereas inexperienced people jumping straight into LLMs may not be fully understanding what is happening or what they are given.
My first real coding experience was when I joined a bootcamp (Code.in bootcamp) in 2022. Only reason I could stick around this time was because I had a chunk of change after selling my agency and had nothing else to do
I’m a humanities grad for what its worth
