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 have a side project Android app. To test Claude Code, I loaded it up in the repo and asked it to add a subscription billing capability to the app. Not rocket science, but it probably would have taken me a day or two to figure out the mechanics of Google Play subscription billing and implement it in code.

Claude Code did it in 30 seconds and it works flawlessly.

I am so confused how people are not seeing this as a valuable tool. Like, are you asking it to solve P versus NP or something?

If you need to do something that's been done a million times, but you don't have experience with it, LLMs are an excellent way to get running quickly.
