So it's not hand-built?
- Lerc 2mo agoWhat is? I, at the very least, need a keyboard.
- lthi747 2mo agoDoes using non AI code autocompletions and code templates makes your code non hand written? Because I think it’s based on same idea - “prediction of next word”. And sometimes with just few buttons pressed you get surprisely good lines.
- reasonableklout 2mo agoOP, you will get a much better reception if you clarify that "hand built" just means you're not using existing libraries. It's a cool project, but it's disappointing to come in expecting to see a rare gem of a 100% human project in 2026 but it's really something else.

- yard2010 2mo agoHonest question - does using claude code and steering it to type the code I want counts as hand-built? Like doing actual PRs, nit picking, basically treating it as a jr/product/typist while I'm the one making ALL the decisions? Reading every line and approving manually if it's a code that I would write?
- incrudible 2mo agoIn the age of LLMs we can assume that any code was generated by an LLM unless noted otherwise, so I think it is fair to not point out the use of LLMs. However, words like hand built should be reserved for the instances where the code was actually written unassisted. Reading all the code means nothing, there is no such thing as code that was written as if you had written it, unless you have written it.
- lionkor 2mo agoNo it does not count as hand built. In the same way that a human pressing buttons, such that an automated production line makes a watch, and then at the end a human goes and looks at it and says "yup that's a watch" isn't a hand-made watch.
- glaslong 2mo agoDirectly equivalent to having outsourced it to a shop of remote consultants where you remained as onshore lead. And in all those past cases we would have said "No."
