The article tells us as much about coding as it does AI.

The author cites Loom and a transcription service as their projects. They've just stitched together screen record and a video editor, and made a nice front end for Whisper.

Not diminishing this, quite the opposite. Something I love about coding in the 21st century is that there's so much to build on! A lot of work is about finding two or more cool things that work well together, packaging them up nicely and creating something that's greater than the sum of its parts.

I've mixed feelings about AI, but it's great for this sort of work flow. It's great for writing the tedious glue/GUI around established libraries.
