Yeah, it feels like a lot of these stories are the new version of the methodology / database / framework hype we've seen for so many years... with our new tool, you can write Reddit / Yelp / Wikipedia / S3 / etc. in a week. Sure, you can write a prototype that kind of replicates the surface level functionality. How about the actual hard part? Things like scaling, optimization of computing resources across large fleets, evolution of the system to attract more customers, fighting spam, increasingly complicated integrations with 3rd parties, maintenance, etc.

So much of this will turn out like all those things we've seen before. It will take skilled engineers doing a lot of thinking to figure out the right way to leverage the tools to make better systems for less.

I think on it from the perspective that Claude can already replace the majority of methodology zealots because it is intellectually on par with them. (in coding)
