I am an old SWE and claude 4.5 has not changed a thing on how we work. The teams that have embraced AI in their worlflow have not increased their output compared with they ones that don't use it.

Two things I solidly recommend it for are helper scripts and test code. Writing boilerplate tests is so much easier with it. I recently vibe coded an entire text-ui frontend to perforce, similar to tig for git, and it took about 2 hours. Yeah, I'm not ready to use it for our driver code yet but I would use it to check my work.

You proved his point bro. That site does not even load.

Shrug, loads fine for me.

That site is in Cloudfare am I right?

Cloudfare gets blocked in some parts of Europe on the weekend... Only the DNS, not really blocked.

Football is more important.

I think there's an issue with IPv6 resolution, but I do think it's a Cloudflare issue, as they're the ones who insert that IPv6 hostname I can't resolve. This doesn't happen with any of my other sites, though, it's odd.

If it works tomorrow you know why.

They block random Cloudfare IPs related with sport streaming sites.

Are you in Spain? I've seen it in Greece, but only on one of my devices.

I am not in Spain. But I am Spanish. I think it gets blocked in Spain and in Italy.

Can you show any product created by a those imaginary teams using LLMS?

https://pine.town/

I am talking about real work. Who is going to pay me to build that?

I have not even seen a CRUD app with real users wrote using AI tools.
