True, but by "two days" I mean I asked Claude to do it from my phone while watching TV in the evening after work.

I think for people who can quickly understand and describe systems/code, AI is very magical. So many personal projects would be otherwise too tiring except for the 0.1% OSS developer personality that can spend 4+ hours a day working on stuff. Now AI means many projects can be implemented at the speed of thought.
