So let me get this straight, you get instructed to build an Instagram clone, and you sit down and one shot code every single feature for the project? My point is about in one sitting, doing EVERYTHING all at once, without pausing, without standing up, without breaks. I don't know about you but people who tend to rush code out make just as many if not worse mistakes than AI does.

I've worked with many competent engineers and have built things people couldn't even google help for before AI existed, and that surpassed mine and my teams expectations both solo and in a team setting, none of them were done in one sitting, which is what you're suggesting. Everything is planned out, and done piecemeal.

For the record, I can one shot an AI model to do all of those things, with all the detail they need and get similar output as if I gave a human all those tasks, I know because I've built the exact tooling to loop AI around the same processes competent developers use, and it still can do all of it in record time.

Bullshit you can lol. If it's that trivial, create an instagram right now and post the code.
