That's a good point. Ive actually implemented the same project over 20 times at this point.
At the heart is my hobby of reading web and light novels. I've been implementing various versions of a scraper and ePub reader for over 15 years now, ever since I started working as a programmer.
I've been reimplementing it over the years with the primary goal of growing my experiences/ability. In the beginning it was a plain Django app, but it grew from that to various languages such as elixir, Java (multiple times with different architecture approaches), native Android, JS/TS Frontend and sometimes backend - react, angular, trpc, svelte tanstack and more.
So I know exactly how to implement it, as I've give through a lot of version for the same functionality.
And the last version I implemented (tanstack) was in July, via Claude Code and got to feature parity (and more) within roughly 3 weeks.
