This probably could have been one-shotted with Sonnet, not even Opus. Given how over indexed they are on LLM coding, Haiku might even be able to do it.
This is actually an interesting coding model benchmark task now that I think about it.
Is “this could have been one-shotted with Sonnet” the new “I could build this in a weekend?”
I always stop to ask myself, "but did I?" Usually I haven't, and that takes the edge off for me
You'd think any one of these great LLMs that claim coding is over would take a non-trivial app and just clone it while fully documenting the process.
If it's so great, why is there so little viscera documenting it's greatness? Just lots and lots of words.
They've done that for some tech, and the output has been... well, kind of impressive that it works at all, but bad in other ways (a GCC clone, SQLite re-impl, among others)
Coding is definitely not over IMO. Not yet anyway
