Do you realize that there is software out there that are not simple React apps? The models are clearly advanced but I think the world is a lot more complex than you seem to think.

I have basically vibe-coded a guidance system for air defence interceptors in 6 weeks. It works. Took getting my hands dirty with soldering and some mechanical work to test, but Cursor was guiding me on even that. And i started with understanding concepts like "what is a quaternion" and "why doesn't an infrared camera have a concept of exposure time even as it does have a framerate".

I had a "wow it can vibe code a React app" moment 1.5 years ago. AI evolved a lot since.

I admit i had to hire contractors to do designs for 3D printing. I don't know how to outsource it to AI yet, maybe i can't.

That is super cool. What kind of interceptor? Solid rocket motor with control surfaces?

No, a kind of electric FPV drone.

Claude Fable is very eager to design for 3D printing but I have not tested it real life yet.
