I tried to make an app in claude code like they so much fanfare it could do, and it failed. It was obvious it will fail, I wanted something that I think it was not done before, using the Youtube api. But it failed nonetheless.

I am tired of pretending that this can actually pull any meaningful work besides a debug companion or a slightly enhanced google/stackoverflow.

"I wanted something that I think it was not done before"

But you do know, that this is what LLMs ain't good at.

So your conclusion is somewhat off, because there are plenty of programming work of things that were done before and require just tweaking.

I mean, I am also not hooked yet and just occasionally use chatGPT/claude for concrete stuff, but I do find it useful and I do see, where it can get really useful for me (once it really knows my codebase and the libaries used and does not jump between incompatible API versions)

Yes that is a very accurate assessment, I use Claude almost all the time for other tasks, but when it was a moment to really put it to the test I was not able to produce anything at least usable.

My request involved a local web application that acted as a server for other clients in the same network using Rust.

I wanted to use websockets, it never worked and I was never able to nudge it in any meaningful direction, it started to make circular edits on the codebase and it just never worked.
