It's really important to go and read the code that the author of this article actually produces with LLMs. He posted on hacker news a few months ago, a post called something like "everything I've made with ChatGPT in the month of September" or something. He's producing little toy applications that don't even begin to resemble real production code. He thinks these "tools" are useful because they help him write pointless slop.

- simonw 2y agoHere's that post: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/21/claude-artifacts/ https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/21/claude-artifacts/ You're misrepresenting it here. The point of that post isn't "look at these incredible projects I've built (proceeds to show simple projects)." It's "I built 14 small and useful tools in a single week, each taking between 2 and 10 minutes". The thing that's interesting here is that I can have an LLM kick out a working prototype of a small, useful tool in only a little more time than it takes to run a Google search. That post isn't meant to be about writing "real production code". I don't know why people are confused over that.
