I keep saying that if nothing else, we are in a golden age of actually finishing side projects. All those “it’s easy, I’ll just glue this API to this API” projects really are easy now.
This, exactly. Every side project I've thrown at Claude 3.5 Sonnet has been completed that same night. It's so different from how I used to treat my backlog projects which could take a week or so of research-code-iterate and now they're just an evening (or less; since Sonnet's upgrade on average it's taken me about 20-40 minutes to get the night's planned work done) and I get to sleep earlier. Win-win-win
