Claude can do some medium complicated sites from scratch relatively quickly. The problem is I've seen so many of these at work, not just from non-engineers, but from peers too, that they're easy to spot. AI sites/apps are going to be the new geocities.
But when you want to move beyond the basic thing that impresses the c suites for some reason, it hits a pretty big wall in speed to output and needs a lot more hand holding.
I fear that the c suites don't really care about quality, just speed and saving money. So while I'm a much better developer than Claude (which is imo the best at the moment), I don't think that makes my job secure. I have to use the AI, and it's getting silly/scary religious here about it. We have to talk about how we used AI and how it's making things better. And to make things worse, I don't see a company that's not drinking the Flavor Aid.
It can be useful, and used right, you can do a lot of things faster. But the expectations from the top don't align with the reality of the product, and us developers are being blamed for the gap.
