Interesting how long ago did you do this? How long did you spend on it?
I was skeptical about Claude code and then I spent a week really learning how to use it. Within the week I had built a backend with FastAPI that supported user creation, password reset, email confirmation, a front end, and support for ouath into a few systems.
It definitely took me some time to learn how to make it work, but I’m astounded at how much work I got done and for so little typing.
How do you know the code is solid? If your bar is “if it runs, then it is good”, then alright, otherwise you (or someone else) need to review that code. So, Yeah llms are nice but i don’t think we can just go and deploy whatever they throw at us.
Do you allow interns to push to prod? Because I don't. The LLM is treated no differently. It's an extraordinarily fast, extraordinarily well read intern. You can ask it to do anything, it might succeed, anything it produces should be reviewed fully. I already interact with interns and open source project contributors in a similar fashion, so the LLM plugs right in.
