On the viral tweet about claude generating in an hour what a team at google had apparently built in a year, the OP provided more context which.. of course it was a misrepresentation of what had actually happened

@rakyll

To cut through the noise on this topic, it's helpful to provide more more context:

- We have built several versions of this system last year. - There are tradeoffs and there hasn't been a clear winner.
- When prompted with the best ideas that survived, coding agents are able to go very far and generate a good decent toy version in an hour or so.
