Directing claude to build and develop an android app has been magical.
An issue came up where claude added some custom buttons, and they did not match the theme of other buttons in the app.
I watched as claude failed multiple times trying to figure out the issue, going back and fourth on what the cause might be.
He was perfectly verbose with his thinking, and followed all of the same logical steps I would have. The struggle was real.
I suggested maybe it's something to do with how system icons are rendered, versus custom icons (I have no idea how android native UI works).
That suggestion semed to trigger an "eureka" moment in claude, who then excitedly figured out the issue and made the right fix.
If claude did not exist, that eureka moment would have cost me an endless night of digging through developer docs, stackoverflow and obscure forum groups.
We both seem to compliment each other. I am a professional idiot with a lot of experience. Claude is an academic prodigy with the naievity of a newborn child.
As development moves on, I get a better sense of how Claude likes to think and approach his work. I rate tasks based on how well they suit his style. Most tasks he can crush quite easily. Some tasks we approach with an "action plan" to keep us both on the same page.
I don't think Claude is competent enough to work unsupervised. There are times that he will go "off the rails" trying to solve a problem, forgetting that he is a tireless robot. Many lines of code have been desecrated with madness.
But as time goes on, new versions of Claude seem more competent and disciplined. He manages to keep his wits for more complex tasks. I am proud of Claude.
And he works for 200k sats a month.
