Maybe code is free, but code isn't all that goes into building software. Minimally, you have design, code, integrate, test, document, launch.

Claude is going to help mostly with code, much less with design. It might help to accelerate integration, if the application is simple enough and the environment is good enough. The fact is, going cross-platform native trebles effort in areas that Claude does not yet have a useful impact.

That's just a harness diff. A few more iterations of bootstrapping and the harness will be able to do the whole lifecycle.

The disturbing fact is that AI is simply smarter than us by a stupendous margin. Anything you do that involves thinking can be done better by the AI. We are obsolete when it comes to being smart.

I was in denial about this for a couple years, but I understand now.
