People are comparing this to tech automating wood work, knitting, baking etc. That comparison is fundamentally flawed.

You still needed to know how to operate those machines. Where to begin, when to do what. Know what’s right and what’s wrong. They are just tools.

Something like claude desktop can help regular people build, a fully functioning, scalable and maintainable program on any platform contrary to popular opinion. These harnesses are getting that good.

Only reason people don’t do that is because they are intimidated. Regular people don’t even understand file systems. As soon as an Apple-like version of claude code exists that intimidation will be gone.

I have been writing code for 14 years now and everything I learned from my failures and successes someone else can get for free. Even newer paradigms these LLM’s can dream up.

Its the democratisation, of that foundation people put so much effort building is what pissed off everyone here. Including myself I’ll admit.

Results of all these years of hard earned knowledge are accessible to any random person off the street without any effort.

I use claude code at work, even for architectural decisions it can iterate small prototypes to validate. I still read code because I am old school but it can replace most people.

Isn't this like saying "any one can paint now because every one have a camera?"..
