> Sure, we're reducing the cost of idea -> prototype to near zero (well, as long as tokens are free or nearly free), but that just means we now have mountains of throw away code, within which there may a gem or two.

This doesn't strike me as wrong, but where the rubber meets the road. Let me give you an example.

My superior with close to zero programming skills, sat down with Claude and "wrote" a Django backend with SPA React frontend that enables user directory sync from one source to another and then exposes an API for other services to consume. It supports RBAC, 2FA, extensions for directory sources, dashboard with stats and what not. Everything packed into docker containers ready to deploy on the cloud. Again, the person is very skilled as a consultant, but lacks programming skills whatsoever. I did a code review, prepped a list of things to fix and he did fix them with Claude again. Later on, he used Claude to rewrite the Python backend to Go. I did no code review on that part. Fable was used in several iterations to test for security issues before each release.

Long story short, this service is now running in the cloud and the customer uses it to solve their problem. We got a couple of other customers on the line as well.

You tell me what to do with that.

How? The point of Fable (vs. Mythos) is that it has extreme guardrails against doing e. g. security work, even mentioning "security" or "vulnerability" in the prompt will shut it down.

That if you polish it a bit, you can probably write a short story. /s

The thing is, making claims like that doesn’t prove anything. You have to either show the result or prove that is reproducible. Otherwise, it may as well be something you dream up this morning.
