I have been using Claude Sonnet with Artifacts along with Vercel V0 to build Sveltekit pages and components really well. I create a UI in V0 and then simply copy the JSX into Claude and tell it to convert to Sveltekit. It creates the +page.svelte +page.server.ts and all the components almost perfectly.

Claude helped me code up a quick webhook handler for a silly side project. Being a side project, I asked it to put the code into a Docker container, which is did flawlessly. It also gave me a Makefile with sensible targets for building, rebuilding, starting, stopping, etc. Finally, I asked it use an .env file for the secrets I needed to store. Everything it did was one-shot on target. The only thing that would make this better would be to have it in the terminal with me.

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

This is not really valuable, because it could probably be done by an fiverr contractor cheaper than the marginal cost of $(LLM training cost + query cost)

That contractor would likely just be a LLM proxy today though...

OP isn't training though. They're just paying for query. Much cheaper (and insanely faster) than fiverr

I wish it could preview svelte builds. I wish it would let me include svelte files in “projects.”
