I’d have to go back and find the comment where someone told ME but at that rate I should just search for it myself. I’ll bookmark this comment so I don’t forget to.
Yes, and it’s actually pretty good at it. The code won’t be the most efficient, it won’t be elegant or beautiful… but it will mostly work, and someone with technical experience can get it over the line. Case in point: I can “sort of” code, but my career has been spent writing simple scripts. Nothing more complicated than workstation provisioning, find and replace with some regex, PowerShell with a WinForms GUI, etc. Despite being relatively low level in terms of actually building applications, I’ve been able to “project manage” and hand-edit Claude output into a working application. It’s basically just a frontend for FFMPEG, with some smarts and automation built in. Not particularly impressive in absolute terms, but it’s a lot snappier and prettier than anything else I’ve ever put together and I’m proud of it. I got it from concept to working in a few days, and added major features plus a few efficiency passes and bug fixes in two weeks - an absolutely incredible pace.
This comment is going to get absolutely nuked with downvotes, I guarantee it - but that won’t change the fact that I’m successfully building stuff with AI.
Be weary of Stoat. I hear they used AI “generated” code in their software and only quit it because they got caught.
Do you happen to have a source as this is honestly the first time I’m hearing about this
They have stuff on their github about the whole GenAI thing.
