This project is completely built using claude code: https://github.com/ako/backing-tracks Most of the features take less than 30 minutes.

This isn't that impressive when there are mountains of training data dealing with exactly this... how about something truly unique and not something already available to the masses in hundreds of different forms?

Like cool, you killed boiled a few gallons of the ocean but are you really impressed that you made a basic music app that is extremely limited?

So we’re now in a world where this isn’t impressive anymore? How quickly expectations change. Having started with basic and then 6502 assembly over 40 years ago, this still feels like science fiction to me.

But most enterprise software does not need to be innovative, its needs to be customizable enough that enterprises can differentiate their business. This makes existing software ideas so much more configurable. No more need for software to provide everything and the kitchen sink, but exactly that what you as a customer want.

Like in my example, I don’t know of any software that has exactly this feature set. Do you?
