You're fighting a battle you can't win. Doesn't care what you think about those using LLMs, they will outproduce you and in corporate environments, shipping things is paramount. If I can ship 5 more things simultaneously with AI, I'm going to beat you even if you think you're creating "better" software.

Example of whats been shipped?

    Okay. I rebuilt my website in ~a month with the help of Opus 4.7/.8 and it would have taken me, unaided human, at least 6 months. Link's in my bio if you care.

    Satisfied now? Will you stop asking this question? Thought not.

      So look. I’m not trying to be a dick I promise.

      But I took a look at your site and I don’t know if a month would be impressive for a new and unaided dev. It looks nice but yeah.

      If you’re not a dev that’s totally cool but like… all I’m saying is this may not hit like you want it to.

      Why would this have taken 6 months? No offense, but this is a few days work without llms (assuming the content already exists). This should not have taken a month.

      Also, not trying to be an asshole. Props for not making it look like every other llm generated slop site, Its just not a great example.

    At this point, why would anyone in their right mind respond to this question and paint a target for all manner of negativity ranging from snark to harassment to malicious action?

      We get get the Borg-esque "resistance is futile" spiel, someone asks for examples. One guy (kinda smugly tbh) points us to his (neat) online course website, claiming that it took him 1 month to rebuild with Claude, ergo GP is right and the non-AI dev is destined to extinction. As WooCommerce didn't end all web development before, he gets some good-natured ribbing.

      I find the AI booster dynamic of "you are fool and will get replaced" to "I'm a smoll defenseless bean" kinda puzzling.

    the quantum slop argument : "yeah it's everywhere but no one ships it."
