On the other hand. If his tool does the job why not. If you asked a 90s engineer how javascript triggers millions of cpu instructions for just a few code steps he would call you crazy.

I'm not a 90s engineer and that is crazy. The amount of inefficiency that people tolerate from JS and other web stuff is completely unreasonable in my view. It's also why software today is much worse than it was 20-30 years ago.
A bit of topic. But noaways even when having no time at all you can instruct your AI to setup DNS adguard at home and get rid of all (most) ads on any site or app.
It took me literaly 10 minutes to set it up.
Sorry to say that this probably has no valuable moat. And that is becoming an increasingly bigger issue for many companies. There is no longer the need for many services and products. There is some serious demand for expertise in the field of AI automation. But it requires experts with domain knowledge. Almost no companies have this. The end is near for those.
Must be a token burner setup. Nice if you really got it to work. Now also add business agents that come up with new features based on actual research. Your automated humanless company is almost there.
They're making money, which is more than most ICs living in cost centers can say.
The human code monkey sometimes thinks too highly of the task of coding. That's never once been the job to be done.
Every engineer is going to become a master of understanding and measuring need, opportunity cost, organizational support and headwinds, political will, etc. These are the true features of the job. The coding part will fall away entirely.
Deliver value. Code used to be the expensive part, but now it's becoming cheap, fungible, and ephemeral.
...of course you're likely just trolling, hard to say with the drivel coming out of Silicon Valley the last few years. In that case: my apologies and keep up the good work :D
As long as you keep in the loop Claude can do anything. Question is can it do stuff in which you are not in the loop. For simple tasks yes, but not for complex ones yet.
