I took an issue in Specte.Console. Implemented it from scratch. It took me 10 minutes.

I then subscribed to Claude Code and asked it to solve the same issue. It generated code that worked, but that had so many problems I had to interject. I spent 1,5 hours to get it to produce code that held my standards, and it consumed 160k/200k tokens doing so.

This technology is only valuable for people who either have no conception of time or don't care. Period.
