I am sure that whatever work was put into actually trying to implement that, was crucial in order to instruct Claude what to do. System design doesn't come by itself.
What a waste of words. If you idea is easily replicable probably it was not a good idea after all. LLMs don't change the equation.
I mean, sometimes the hard work is creating object number 1. There are a crapload of inventions that we look back on and go "why did it take so long for us to make the first one", then after that whatever object/idea it was explodes over the planet because of the ease of implementation and the useful practical application.
I think this statement is marred by the our modern sensibilities that say everything must be profitable or it's a bad idea.

I am also building some agents. It is almost hands off at this point.
I was just coding a personal website the other day while waiting for our number to be called at the DMV. I couldn’t really review the code but it did give me a chance to test on mobile.
This is without doing anything special, just using one instance of Claude Opus 4.5 and exe.dev.

It's way past the point of "just" doing MVPs or simple proof of concepts. I'm talking about user auth, dynamic input parsing, calendar views, tags, projects, history of events and more, given a few prompts.
Nothing replaces making simple UX instead of complicated kitchen sink products.
It’s easy to make stuff. It’s harder to make stuff people want.
I am thankful for the increase in product velocity and I also recognize that a lot of stuff people make isn’t what people want.
Product sense and intuition still matter.

That "this isn't x, it's y" really is a strong tell
