So you did not build a wardrobe unless you cut, dried and sliced your tree yourself, and used muscle powered tools.

Power tools or buying kiln-dried planks is forbidden, you might as well go to IKEA, buy you set and claim you "built" it.

You cannot also claim you built a custom sensor for your smart home if you based it on ESP32 and any of the ecosystem tooling. You might as well buy it from Phillips or Siemens if it exists, or just sit in the corner and sulk. Using advanced tools is forbidden.

I swear luddites are going more and more extreme in their analogies.

No, that is not what GP said. That is, in fact, the opposite of what GP said.

That's pretty much what they said: unless you "make" something, preferably by hand and without using advanced tools, maybe you didn't make it at all.

They were using restaurant and customised burger example to refute the claim that using LLM to assist with building solutions (applications) is building and making.

I only dialed their extreme to the further extreme, just on the adjacent plane.
