There's many apps I would never have been able to do time wise before.

I tried tasking it to update my personal workout app and it created so many bugs I had to clean up with Opus or be left with spaghetti. It also keeps asking for confirmation of doing basic things.

It's pretty cool and easy to set up.

Containers literally changed the world economy.

I think you are onto something. But this requires upfront investment, which alas, politicians are not for.

But it still looks like a great prototyping tool to me, especially if you want to express an idea in your head to an actual 3D designer, in the same way UX designers can show a prototype to developers with Claude code now, instead of trying to repro an idea with Figma.

Where is the part about nondeterminism and hallucinations? Drawing a pretty chart doesn't make the argument true. All these benchmarks and competitions are on problems that have a _right answer_. I write most my code entirely through Claude at work and have Claude Max for personal, and I can see every day that even with the right context, it's not certain that the model is going to converge to a decent answer on complex real life issues. At least one thing I do agree on: model growth is not an exponential, like everyone thought when we were on the first leg of it, but a logarithmic.

Then have another instance criticize the code and say how it could be improved and why. Then ask questions to this instance about things you don't know or understand. Ask for links. Read the links. Take notes. Internalize.

One day I was fighting Claude on some core Ruby method and it was not agreeing with me about it, so I went to check the actual docs. It was right. I have been using Ruby since 2009.
