1. I am much more productive/effective
2. It’s way more cognitively demanding than writing code the old-fashioned way
3. Even over this short timespan, the tools have improved significantly, amplifying both of the points above
I guess for me the questions is, at what point do you feel it would be reasonable to this without the experts involved in your case? As an edit, after reading some of the prompts, what is the likelihood that a non-expert could even come up with those prompts? The really really interesting thing would be if an AI could actually generate the prompts.
i.e. I might not use AI to build an OAuth library, but I might use AI to build a web app (which I am an expert at) that may use an OAuth library Cloudfare developed (which theya are experts at). Trying to make "anyone" code "anything" doesn't seem like the point to me

"Fix Claude's bug manually. Claude had a bug in the previous commit. I prompted it multiple times to fix the bug but it kept doing the wrong thing.
So this change is manually written by a human.
I also extended the README to discuss the OAuth 2.1 spec problem."

This is super relatable to my experience trying to use these AI tools. They can get halfway there and then struggle immensely.

He is quoting from the project readme. I wrote all this text.
If I might make a suggestion, based on how fast things change, even within a model family, you may benefit from saying Claude what. I was especially cognizant of this given the recent v4 release which (of course) hailed as the second coming. Regardless, you may want to update your readme to say
It may also be wildly out of scope for including in a project's readme, but knowing which of the bazillions of coding tools you used would also help a tiny bit with this reproduction crises found in every single one of these style threads

Which Claude plan did you use? Was it enough or did you feel limited by the quotas?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

The entire point of the repository seems to be to invalidate/validate the thesis if LLMs are good enough to be pair programmers right now. Removing it from the README makes no sense in that context.
