> 2. A one-shotted POC in the span of an hour with $4 of tokens that is clearly wrong in 20 different ways?

A meeting between all the stakeholders to agree on requirements easily runs $1,000/hour. Taking your $4 functional PoC into that meeting is going to save so much time...

It is though! Because previously your have the meeting last 4x as long to end up with a list of notes that you already knew.

Now you can generate the PoC, showcase it during the meeting and leave with actionable changes in project direction.

I used to spend an hour throwing a PoC together with PHP (or sometimes in MS Access) because hey you can throw shit together real fast, and because I used either a shitty language or a toy tool they were treated as throwaway.

Now LLMs make that easier to do with a larger scope.
