Kinda sad that LLM's let me build little projects that would take a week in an hour, yet Google still isn't releasing much new or different, or even fixing bugs faster.
Mr boss man needs to uncork Google's 'labs' culture.

They simply aren't as useful for production stuff as they are for little projects.
They are useful! Just not the 1000x return you get on a tiny thing or the 100x return you get on a small thing.
I completely disagree. If you do the architecture and review the work, they can do bulletproof production work.
I have them review each other’s work before I review it, and they also do security audits of the entire codebase on a regular schedule.
For frontend work especially, the productivity boost is insane. Claude built me a replacement for a complex UI that took a human developer 6 months to build poorly, and Claude did it in two hours.
Are you qualified to judge in all those areas? I too look at websites Claude builds in amazement but I'm sure that's a lot of crap underneath.
I’ve been building websites for 30 years and have been architect- or CTO-level at web startups for 15 years. I’ve done all of this painstakingly myself many, many times. I know whether Claude is good at it or not.
Production was probably the wrong word - I really mean size and complexity of the project.
A replacement for a complex UI that would take a human developer 6 months to do is indeed something I would consider a small project at this point.

It sounds incredible if the UI already existed in some shape, and it took a developer 6 months. With Qtcreator one could build UI full UI in 2 days if the wireframes or a UI already exists.
This was a web UI, which is much more complex than a desktop UI because of legacy browsers and idiosyncrasies
6 man-months is a tiny project by standards of companies like Google.
I was responding to a claim about production quality, not about project size
I did misspeak by saying production, but the context was google products and I mentioned size thrice.
> if you spend x2 the effort on the very hard stuff you can now do the very easy part kinda faster
Gee thanks, AI dude.
