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.

Its definitely not there yet. You have to babysit it alot. Its not autonomous.

The utility i find is that it helps _me_ do the real engineering work, the planning and solution architechting, and then can bang out code once it has rock solid instructions (in natural language but honestly one level above psuedocode) and then i have to review it with absolutely zero faith in its ability to do things. Then it can work well.

But its not where these guys are claiming it is

But you know just how powerful that middle bit is.

An engineer will truly 10x with these, maybe greater. So will the unskilled but they will have diminishing returns over more usage.

Exactly. My hunch is that those who try to find reasons why AI coding bad are either

* afraid that the demands on them in their job will increase * actually like and are attached to the act of writing out code.

Frankly I can sometimes empathize with both but their conclusions are still wrong.
