Why would I hire you when I could pay $17 for a Claude subscription?

Yeah I agree with that sentiment. The readme is also just a run on mess as well, so it doesn't not inspire confidence.
If you can do x and a pro can do x better who do you think can do it better using AI?
so basically pro cooks are better at ordering pizza?
"pro"-ness does not transfer. I can be both good at reading english, and have AI hallucinate non-existing details from the documents it processes.
Ohh I'm gonna steal that one.
Although I don't fully agree. With AI the focus now shifts a lot from 'being able to implement the thing' to 'being able to know/figure out exactly what you want the thing to look like', also against the siren song of the LLMs constantly having ideas of what you could _also_ build.
So, I agree that it's not a direct translation from 'pro pizza cook' is 'pro pizza orderer', but I'm quite sure the pro pizza cooks would generally have the better pizzas in the end, if there were infinite variations of pizza on the menu and the ordering agent was constantly trying to upsell you on slathering on another layer of sauce and cheese.
Which is not to say there aren't exceptions in both directions, because as a pro pizza connoisseur you could even be better positioned to 'know exactly what you want', without ever having made a pizza; and as a pro cook you might still be overwhelmed by the ordering process.
Though all of this still assumes of course that we are in the 'complexity region' where we can expect the LLM/the pizza agent to deliver _exactly_ what we wanted, without issue. As soon as we leave that region (though it expands every week, it feels like), the skills of the cook are still very much necessary to make sure things are as they should be, and fix them if not.

By "design" I mean choosing how the software works and the engineering trade-offs. I didn't type "make install system" into claude. I designed how the software worked based on my past research and my engineering knowledge. This included the original NSIS code I wrote: https://github.com/robertsdotpm/win-auto-py3 and file-based meta-data data here: https://robertsdotpm.github.io/software_engineering/program_...
I don't really get the hate. Everyone here uses AI for just about everything yet they almost never credit the models. I think this misrepresents the work so I credited the tools. But I'm by no means just handing a blank script to a model and hoping for the best.
Perhaps so you could spend more time with your loved ones, or doing literally anything else, instead of talking to a machine? Just saying.
