Here's what happens: person comes up with an idea, asks Claude to generate it, gasps in awe, tries out for a few minutes, moves on because the idea wasn't that interesting.

When producing code is basically a solved problem, generating worthless amounts of code is literally one click away. Execution remains key, and still means iterating upon an idea for a long time, rather than generating a prototype with Claude and calling it a day.

Honestly for some it's just a compulsion that they can later brag about on forums, but it never results in anything worth showing the world.
