GoKawiilSo you have decided to start on that long-awaited, from-scratch todo app. There are millions of such apps but this will be yours. Something tailored for your unique workflow.
Normally you wouldn’t even take up such an endeavour. Any handwritten code takes time. And time is one thing you don’t have. Doesn’t help that you also write code for a living.
But now you are more confident. Thanks to the LLMs you don’t have to hand type any of it. It helps that you are a good software engineer with experience in an adjacent area.
As is your way of developing software, you start with a small spike or, in normie terms, a proof of concept.
You type in instructions meticulously, constraining the agent to your wishes. You always had a way with the agents.
The latest one named Pol would be no different. It has been ranking way up in the benchmarks. They all get better over time, so if anything, this would be easier than a month ago.
You set the agent to crunch the code, go on with your regular work or maybe go to sleep. After all, the agents are quite autonomous these days.
You wake up and, as is the ritual, walk over to your desk to check on Pol. It is always thrilling to check out the first cuts. They are crude, unpolished, error-prone but rewarding. Creating something out of nothing. From a thought to working software. As if magic and witchcraft has finally come true.

0% weekly usage. Reset will be 7 days from now.
