This is an antidotal example, but I released this last week after 3 months of work on it as a "nights and weekdends" project: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skyscraper-for-bluesky/id67541...

I've been working in the mobile space since 2009, though primarily as a designer and then product manager. I work in kinda a hybrid engineering/PM job now, and have never been a particularly strong programmer. I definitely wouldn't have thought I could make something with that polish, let alone in 3 months.

That code base is ~98% Claude code.

I don’t know if “antidotal example” is a pun or a typo but I quite like it.

Lol typing on my phone during lunch and meant anecdotal. But let's leave it anyways. :)

That is fun.

Not sure if it's an American pronunciation thing, but I had to stare at that long and hard to see the problem and even after seeing it couldn't think of how you could possibly spell the correct word otherwise.

> Not sure if it's an American pronunciation thing

It's a bad American pronunciation thing like "Febuwary" and "nuculer".

If you pronounce the syllables correctly, "an-ec-dote", "Feb-ru-ar-y", "nu-cle-ar" the spellings follow.

English has it's fair share of spelling stupidities, but if people don't even pronounce the words correctly there is no hope.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/February

The pronunciation of the first r with a y sound has always been one of two possible standards, in fact "February" is a re-Latinizing spelling but English doesn’t like the br-r sound so it naturally dissimilates to by-r.
