You explained it better than I. The craft is the fun part. I also don’t want to just critique Claude needlessly, it’s probably the best out of all llms/coding agents I’ve used. My comment would apply to most of the lately posted news on HN. It just fees like an ad post is all I was trying to say.
I’m a 13 year lurker, first time commenter (Not sure why this post compelled me). I don’t think this is a genuine take. I don’t see how a 60 year old has any kind of joy for actual software creation suddenly from llms. It might be a joy in seeing software automatically be created but it’s definitely not doing the work. (I may be biased, I left the field 5 years ago) I doubt he’s spending any time fixing the software to make it near usable for anyone besides himself and the semi-working state the llm gave him. Meaning he’s going to have 10 or more half-finished projects again.
