sjmog··on AI Makes It Look Good. Craft Makes It Matter
AI feels a lot to me like improv. It’s fun to watch, sometimes, and in experienced hands it can even be great - but it’s missing the crafted core of what makes something really good - the “thing” that great art becomes transparent before.

yesterday I posted a video testing claude-4 sonnet solving an https://simstack.io long-horizon swe challenge unaided (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424468). for comparison, here's gemini 2.5-pro.

I noticed that 2.5-pro is way more cavalier, skipping backups, and trying "more stuff more quickly" than claude's more cautious approach.

second was a google engineer, 48 minutes

claude + o3 (and a bit of help) does it in about 1h15
