Please, show us the website and the source code - every time I read statement like this, there is no proof.

No, you missed the memo. You're supposed to say they're toy webpages and it doesn't count as "real" programming. Simonw has plenty of examples on his blog, including full transcripts if you've honestly not seen them before though. https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/ A fun one that he didn't bother to post to his blog tho - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42505772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42505772

  I see no such example, just some blog full of useless posts.

oh you won't need it : the code is probably horrible, the website design is vaguely Ok for an admin backend but clearly not suitable to customer facing, etc. But the point is : it works.It is functional and handles complex realistic scenarios. And only two years ago, this was pure fantasy. Now give the tech two more years, and see where this is going ?

  Now for those who are curious, i'm done with my first experiment and i am planning on starting a full redesign of that project, this time providing the AI with a lot more guidance on software best practices. I'll decompose more, make it write more unit tests, etc. And make sure to keep everything in check regularly regarding code quality (still writing nothing myself though). In fact, i'll be doing exactly what i would do with a junior/midlevel developer. Except AI work probably 100x times faster. My first iteration of that project lasted about 3 days from start to finish, reaching a point where i left so much cruft accumulating that it couldn't refactor it properly without breaking absolutely everything in an impossible to recover manner... But before you say anything, i've personally seen the same thing happen at least 5 times in my career, with professional humans developing the code.
