I used claude opus recently to help me build a website. I mocked up the design in balsamiq and pasted a screenshot of it in into Claude and told it to write the html for it with Twitter Bootstrap CSS framework.

The output got me 85% of the way there and meant I could focus on tweaks rather than having to bootstrap the structure from scratch, so maybe saved 20-30 minutes? I’m not a frontend developer but I’ve dabbled and this definitely gave me a headstart.

I also used it to ask some questions about how to do something in vue.js. These questions would have easily sucked up time doing google searches and getting a lot of low quality results.

The way I see these tools right now is like a useful but dumb assistant, if you know most of the stuff you’re asking about but just don’t have that final % it seems pretty good and you can verify the output.
