> Instead I hear about the great time Claude had being prompted to do it.
I don’t think anyone is talking or even considering how much fun Claude had coming up with the code for this.
Fun is subjective. “A great time” is subjective. The author could have had bucket loads of fun discussing, architecting, rethinking, planning and bringing the project to life through Claude. Or they could have had a miserable time with Claude but just wanted to see the thing working. Maybe both? Maybe neither?
The point is: chill. AI is nothing more than a tool. A tool that requires an operator. And like every other tool in human history, it can produce bad results or wonderful results, it all depends on who’s operating it and how much domain knowledge they have.
Things aren’t so black and white. Open up your mind a little (crazy concept, I know) and just let people enjoy things.
My point is more this was posted without context.
I may be interested to read a blog post about the trials and tribulations the creator had, I'm sure there was something interesting going on getting LLMs writing Z80 assembly and testing things on real devices.
Not interested in reading an uncurated Claude context summary.
