Thanks for the reading, the original post was somewhat unhinged. It was a very long debugging session for the alpha thing, the AI tooling weren’t helping. And I was losing my mind over my morning coffee. But I fixed the little details.
I think the reality of the AI tooling for coding fall in the “middle”, it isn’t the 10x or 100x described by people, it’s closer to a 10%~15% performance increase in my humble view. With some better harness (like the PI that I discovered) I think this can be sightly better, but far from the 50%. I would say that if the increase in productivity decays over time, the amount of code generated I had to refactor and clean for most of the week.
But for sure the Claude was a huge disappointment, very bad quality for it’s price, and super slow for the needs of a “start up mindset”, let’s put in this way.










For my use case, didn’t work. But I was in a more spec driven than anything else. So maybe with a shorter spec file would have a better result.
