I looked through the source code, and it looks reasonable. The code is well-commented (even _over_ commented a bit). There are probably around ~700 meaningful lines of pure code. So this should be about 2 weeks of work for a good developer. This is without considering the tests.
And OAuth is not particularly hard to implement, I did that a bunch of times (for server and the client side). It's well-specified and so it fits well for LLMs.
So it's probably more like 2x acceleration for such code? Not bad at all!
700 lines of code is 2 weeks of work for a good developer? My friend, I wrote 350 lines of executable code (excluding boilerplate) in a morning (4AM to like 9AM, maybe a bit more) to make a test with voxel octrees like yesterday. There's no reason it would take "2 weeks of work for a good developer" to write 700. What takes times in those projects is the research, if you already have this fresh in your head it should not take more than 3 days to make something very simple but reasonable, and a week at max to make something good (not perfect, but good).
