Yeah, I was about to say, it sounds a lot like this guy is just riding an intense high from getting Claude to build some side-project he's been putting off, which I feel is like 90% of all cases where someone writes a post like this.

But then I never really hear any update on whether the high is still there or if it's tapered off and now they're hitting reality.

For sure.

Fwiw, I use Claude Pro in my own side project. When it’s great, I think it’s a miracle. But when it hits a problem it’s a moron.

Recently I was fascinated to see it (a) integrate swagger into a golang project in two minutes with full docs added for my api endpoints, and then (b) spend 90 minutes unable to figure out that it couldn’t align a circle to the edge of a canvas because it was moving the circle in increments of 20px and the canvas was 150px wide.

Where it’s good it’s a very good tool, where it’s bad it’s very bad indeed.
