It will still take a *lot* of debugging. It will be at least an order of magnitude longer than the time it took to write it, and the last 10% of production ready will take 90% of your time. But, it can still be significantly faster than writing it yourself.

I now am dependent in part for my livelihood on paypal. Going to check my contact info there now.
I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.
2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.
Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.
Airbnb allowed making guests do it.
They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.
Isn't SE limited like slow speed, low memory, etc.? I had to replace my 12 mini because of them. Some games really are killers.
Bring back the smaller and lighter iPhones like minis and SEs!
2001: Windows XP ran on as little as 64mb with 128mb being the recommended.
2021: Windows 11 minum is 4gb is listed as the minimum. I've never even touched Windows 11, so I don't know if that is realistic.
The minimum specs for each system is a 64x multiple, as you said. That's a good observation. I'm pretty sure in the late 90s I was running Windows95 with 96mb and my motherboard was capped at 128mb. Negligible ram on the graphics card. It also could have only been 64mb. I don't have a clear memory of what I was running when I first got XP.
Today my PC is a partially upgraded (old) i7-4790k with 32gb ram and 10gb of ram on the video card, so approximately 448x increase in memory in ~25 years.
My Mac is 256gb unified, so ~2,730x multiple.
Still not to the Moore's Law rate!
You know what, fuck all of you!
This is probably the best sentence (and post) that I have read on Slashdot in some time. Amen.
I used to Discovery for its new MythBusters episodes. After the series ended, Discovery is useless. They used to have documentaries too back in its old days.
Another thing that I have found Claude is really good at doing is taking an error from a log and doing a deep dive analysis of what happened. I give it read-only database access, access to www logs, access to application logs, access to a checked out source tree, etc. I paste in the error message (or in some cases paste in a tech support email from a user) and have it write up an analysis, a proposed response to the customer, and any recommendations (if there is a bug or actual problem).
If I were, perhaps it's because I'm not seeing any of the real stuff here.
As Eric Raymond (ESR) says, AI is a force multiplier. My elaboration: If you are good at what you do, it will let you do accomplish more good stuff faster. If you are not very bright, AI will let you be not bright more efficiently, but it won't make you bright. It's just a tool. It needs to be utilized correctly. There is no shortage of things in this world that can do tremendous damage if not used properly. AI is nothing new in that regard.
