Well, here's an even more insane claim: I'm infinity times more productive, as I just wouldn't even start projects without the LLM to sidestep my ADHD. Then, when the LLM invariably fucks up, I step in and finish things myself!

Here are a few projects that I made these past few months that wouldn't have been possible without LLMs:

* https://github.com/skorokithakis/dracula - A simple blood test viewer.

* https://www.askhuxley.com - A general helper/secretary/agent.

* https://www.writelucid.cc - A business document/spec writing tool I'm working on, it asks you questions one at a time, writes a document, then critiques the idea to help you strengthen it.

* A rotary phone that's a USB headset and closes your meeting when you hang up the phone, complete with the rotary dial actually typing in numbers.

* Made some long-overdue updates on my pastebin, https://www.pastery.net, to improve general functionality.

* https://github.com/skorokithakis/support-email-bot - A customer support bot to answer general questions about my projects to save me time on the easy stuff, works great.

* https://github.com/skorokithakis/justone - A static HTML page for the board game Just One, so you can play with your friends when you're physically together, without needing to bring the game along.

* https://github.com/skorokithakis/dox - A thing to run Dockerized CLI programs as if they weren't Dockerized.

I'm probably forgetting a lot more, but I honestly wouldn't have been bothered to start any of the above if not for LLMs, as I'm too old to code but not too old to make stuff.

EDIT: dang can we please get a bit better Markdown support? At least being able to make lists would be good!
