If LLMs can achieve this level of task in 9 days, why do we even need Bun in the first place? Shouldn't we just write our apps in Rust and not even deal with JS?

Why even rust at the first place? I dont see why we can't go straight from natural language -> Claude -> HTML/JS/CSS bundle. Instead of writing webpage, one can just write prompt for each page and serve it with claude.cgi

Can a webpage run my factories?

Yes, it can. Just vibe code Claude to connect to your lithiography machine and voila! Claude will run your factories. Claude can even apply oil to your rusty machines if you choose the $1000/month package

Or we could just rewrite everything in assembly, becauase thats fast. Well, Claude can do that. (/s ??)

And if you inject information about the user into the context, everyone can have their own personalized version and we'll turn the internet into the tower of babel where no two people see or experience the same thing.

I find that LLMs are quite good at translating code. If you are writing something from scratch you have the burden of preparing something for the LLMs to "translate" from, i.e. prompt or specifications – next best thing to actual source code.

Defining specifications with the level of detail needed to build applications exactly as intended is not as trivial as it may seem.
