alt Hacker NewsRespectfully, I think I’m in a better position to decide a) what value this has to me and b) what I choose to learn vs just letting Opus deal with. You don’t have enough information to say if I’ve saved time because you don’t know what I’m doing or what my goals are.
Respectfully, a) I didn't say anything about what value this has to you but moreover...
b) you also don't have enough information to say if it's saved you time because the costs you will bear are in the future. Systems require maintenance, that's a fact you can't get rid of with AI. And often times, maintaining systems require more work than building them in the first place. Maintaining systems tends to require a deep understanding of how they work and the tradeoffs that were decided when they were built.
But you didn't build the thing, you didn't even design it as you left that up to Claude. That makes the AI the only thing on the planet that understands the system, but we know actually the AI doesn't understand anything at all. So no one understands the system you built, including the AI you used. And you expect that this whole process will have saved you time, while you play games?
I just don't see it working out that way, sorry. The artifact the AI spit out will eventually demand you pay the cost in time to understand it, or you will incur future costs for not understanding it as it fails to act as you expect. You'll pay either way in the end.
