Most of them are, yeah. There are a lot of Idea Guys on here, who are in love with the idea that they no longer need effort or skills to Create Their Vision. If they can just prompt hard enough, success will come rolling in.

Did either of you read the article? You seem to be arguing against a point it doesn't make. Tools like Claude Code are entirely capable today of one-shotting tiny bespoke web apps that do a narrow set of things for an audience of one.

The article isn't talking about "large brownfield projects" or people wanting "success [to] come rolling in". It's about people making little apps for themselves, for personal enjoyment, not profit.
