Is it really valid to call it "ingenuity" if you weren't able to execute projects before?

Gen-AI has not enabled me to develop anything I wasn't able to do before, and I consider myself to be an average developer.

I would say so ;-) Right now AI is a powerful tool for me. It helps me express ingenuity on a more abstract level, e.g. conceptual or product thinking rather than implementation details. Some of my current projects I could have built without AI, but not in the time I had. AI moved them from unrealistic to actually doable.

What are these ingenious projects then, pray tell?

Have a look at my blog! Is linked in my profile :)

you have three entries, none of them seem to be about a specific project, all of them seem to be about ways of setting up agentic development. I'm not going to comb them for crumbs.

Surely you can just tell me: what is, in your opinion, the best project to showcase what AI coding methods can achieve? Preferrably a project that is polished enough that it can actually be applied somewhere.

I never get answers when I ask _what_ people actually build using AI. Please tell me.
