Yeah it doesn’t take much to impress people who don’t know how to program. That’s the thing with all these little toy apps like the ones in the article — if you have no to minimal programming skills this stuff looks like Claude is performing miracles. To everyone else, we’re wondering why something as trivial as an “HTML entity escaper” (yes, that one of the “apps”) requires multiple follow up prompts due to undefined references and the like.
While your comment is much more antagonistic and demeaning than I like to see on the posts of folks who are sharing their experiences or pet-projects, I do agree with the sentiment; I guess our definition on non-trivial is significantly different from others’ definitions.
