		ZeroTalent 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days The thing is, when you're doing frontend, a human programmer can't write 4,000 lines of React code in 1 hour. A properly configured LLM system can. This is why I wouldn't hire a person who doesn't know how to do this.

What are you doing where 4000 lines of LLM-generated code per hour is a net positive? Sounds like a techdebt machine to me.

UIs in React are very verbose. I'm not saying this is running 24/7.
