And yes I do make sure it's not generating crazy architecture. It might do that.. if you let it. So don't let it.
You AI hype thots/bots are all the same. All these claims but never backed up with anything to look at. And also alway claiming “you’re holding it wrong”.
This isn't twitter, so save the garbage rhetoric. And if you must question my account, I create a new account whenever I setup a new main PC, and randomly pick a username that is top of mind at the moment. This isn't professionally or personally affiliated in any way so I'm not trying to build a thing. I mean, if I had a 10 year old account that only managed a few hundred upvotes despite prolific commenting, I'd probably delete it out of embarrassment though.

Uh...install the tools? Use them? What does "to look at" even mean? Loads of people are using these tools to great effect, while some tiny minority tell us online that no way they don't work, etc. And at some point they'll pull their head out of the sand and write the followup "Wait, they actually do".
I am in a unique situation where I work with a variety of codebases over the week. I have had no problem at all utilizing Claude Code w/ Opus 4.5 and Gemini CLI w/ Gemini 3.0 Pro to make excellent code that is indisputably "the right way", in an extremely clear and understandable way, and that is maximally extensible. None of them are greenfield projects.
I feel like this is a bit of je ne sais quoi where people appeal to some indemonstrable essence that these tools just can't accomplish, and only the "non-technical" people are foolish enough to not realize it. I'm a pretty technical person (about 30 years of software development, up to staff engineer and then VP). I think they have reached a pretty high level of competence. I still audit the code and monitor their creations, but I don't think they're the oft claimed "junior developer" replacement, but instead do the work I would have gotten from a very experienced, expert-level developer, but instead of being an expert at a niche, they're experts at almost every niche.
Are they perfect? Far from it. It still requires a practitioner who knows what they're doing. But frequently on here I see people giving takes that sound like they last used some early variant of Copilot or something and think that remains state of the art. The rest of us are just accelerating our lives with these tools, knowing that pretending they suck online won't slow their ascent an iota.
