    My eternal advice to anyone doing heavily LLM assisted projects is to do them a bit less LLM assisted. You should still use LLMs, in my opinion, they're wonderful tools. But I know reading this page that this text is mostly LLM-generated, and that leaves there to be little hope that much else of the project isn't.

    It's one thing if your code is really truly "co-authored by" Claude. It's another thing if it isn't even really co-authored by you.

    Evidently the majority of people see no problem with LLM prose, but me and many others think it is some of the most annoying crap possible. Please consider speaking in your own voice.

    I know this gets repetitive, but it is important.

      Also, to congratulate the author feels like congratulating a tech savvy manager for a project rather than the skills and knowledge of a programmer

      It’s cool they’ve managed various agents to get their end result but I’ve always been interested in coding, computer science and maths rather than tech savvy management

      And perhaps tech savvy manager will replace programmers but if I wanted to get into management and business analysis then I would have done so

        Never underestimate the impact of a good, tech savvy, manager.

          A good, tech savvy manager is the stuff of legends, like the Loch Ness Monster, or Bigfoot.

            Try working for technical companies.

            This is an observable spectrum with which can influence the kind of team you have in your landing spot.
