@camertron It is important to realize both "I paid Anthropic to write x for me" and "I made x with Claude" exist, and there is a significant difference. The former creates poor quality code and leaves you with no Theory of the Program... but it's easy. The latter is somewhere between guiding an intern and pair programming in creativity, difficulty, and time spent, but it pays off. It's the difference between https://github.com/setdef/RatatuiRuby/blob/stable/tasks/doc.rake and https://github.com/setdef/RatatuiRuby/blob/stable/tasks/bump.rake

@kerrick First of all, thanks for RatatuiRuby, it's awesome ❤️ Second, I should have been more specific. "I made x with Claude" is often two separate statements: "I made x," then a few sentences later, "Claude wrote a bunch of the code." If I write code with another human, even if that human is my junior, it's disingenuous to claim the thing you created together was something you made by yourself. You would never say, "I made x" - you would say "Steve and I made x."
