I’ve been building websites for 30 years and have been architect- or CTO-level at web startups for 15 years. I’ve done all of this painstakingly myself many, many times. I know whether Claude is good at it or not.

I was responding to a claim about production quality, not about project size

This was a web UI, which is much more complex than a desktop UI because of legacy browsers and idiosyncrasies

I completely disagree. If you do the architecture and review the work, they can do bulletproof production work.

I have them review each other’s work before I review it, and they also do security audits of the entire codebase on a regular schedule.

For frontend work especially, the productivity boost is insane. Claude built me a replacement for a complex UI that took a human developer 6 months to build poorly, and Claude did it in two hours.

If you need “imagination” to prove that this guy was a good dad, he wasn’t a good dad.

What a ridiculous and childish snipe lol.

Sorry I don’t see it the same way. I don’t see a hero or admirable life’s work. He spent his life choosing himself over others.

The son forgiving his father doesn’t make him a good father.

Good fathers don’t need to reconcile in the first place.

I don’t know what your weird beef is here, but abandoning your son to do something incredibly pointless is selfish and terrible parenting.

Geeks got rich. We didn’t get cool. Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, et al have proven that money doesn’t make you happy, beloved, or cool (and actually seems to do the opposite).

Because they’re all fraternity rejects who still want college boys to think they’re cool

“Temporarily unable to go to Northern Ireland” doesn’t justify abandoning your child for the entire rest of his life.

There’s no way to spin it so that Bushby isn’t an absentee father and a selfish person.

Typical lawns are not native grass and don’t spread by rhizome. You’re making my point, and I can’t tell if that’s your intention or not.

You’re just inventing your own definitions of “native” and “natural” that are different from how scientists and other people use those words. It’s a pointless semantic argument.

It’s not really a complicated philosophical question.

Lawns aren’t native to your area. That type of grass didn’t evolve there, and it didn’t evolve to being trimmed short. That’s why it doesn’t produce seeds and why it’s killed by leaves.

That’s just revealing how strange and unnatural lawns are. I switched to low-growing native plants and have been very happy with almost zero maintenance.
