    You don’t have to take my word for it. You can get a subscription to Claude for $20 and install the CLI tool. Ask it to start building something basic. Give it something small first and then expand what your asking for in the next request.

    Claude can also help explain how to set it up if your unfamiliar with things like the terminal or git.

      I have to take your word for it because I don’t know what good code looks like lol. Again, to compare to what I’m familiar with, you can also ask an LLM to draft you a purchase agreement for shares of a private company, and if you’re not a lawyer it’ll look good…and it’ll be able to sound like it’s explaining to you why it’s good…but it will not be good haha

        You use software though? You don’t need to even look at the code, lol. I’m downloading open source projects and modifying their functionality for my personal use with Claude and I don’t even know how they work. Don’t even open the code in an editor, I don’t need to know what it looks like.

          I was suspicious the whole time, reading your replies. This finally seals it. Troll confirmed. Well played.

          Ah, well in that case I won’t take your word for it that it’s good. I’ll take your word for it that it’s working for you for now… Again in a legal context, that’s like “I got chat GPT to write this contract, and it’s working great,” but of course…it won’t be when things go wrong haha!
