Re: Claude AI built me a React app to compare maps side by side
#2I wanted to develop a simple tool to compare maps. I thought about using this opportunity to try out Claude AI for coding a project from scratch. It worked surprisingly well!
At least 95% of the code was generated by AI (I reached the limit so had to add final bits on my own).

I used Claude AI project to attach requirement for the project. Then I just went with single conversation. I specified that I want to do it in small steps and then was just doing copy -> paste until I reached the limit. I think it was because I was doing one big convo instead attaching code to the project.
So pretty simple flow, totally not scalable for bigger projects.
I need to read and check Cursor AI which can also use Claude models.

#5Claude built me a simple react app AND rendered it in it's own UI - including using imports and stuff.
I am looking forward to this type of real time app creation being added into our OSs, browsers, phones and glasses.

What is RPA? Robotic Process Automation? If yes then I have no experience with that.

#8This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup that will inevitably enshittify isn’t compelling despite what the tech can do.
We’re getting there with some of the smaller open source models, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m looking forward to where we’ll be in a year!

In many professions, $5000 for tools is almost nothing.

Yep. Typical landscape crew rolls with $50k in equipment (maybe more). People push back on tooling pricing in other industries (especially when the tooling is "soft') but have no clue what that the cost of doing biz is huge for others.
