The Cuckoo's Egg is the exception. Such a fantastically well-written book! Thanks Cliff!
I've converted my 23 year old Java desktop app to a website.
It's an app to make searching eBay an actual joy. Perform a search, then highlight text to trash or group that term. Then perform the search again tomorrow and it will hide all the stuff you've already seen.

Often while trying to fall asleep, I'll be thinking something like "I need my app to do such and such".
The next day, instead of forcing myself to start coding, I can literally say to Intelij Junie (using Claude), exactly that: "I need my app to do such and such". I'm often pleasantly surprised by the outcome. And if there's anything that needs to be tweaked, I'm now in the mode of critiquing and editing.
Fair warning to any others: It's mostly fantasy and sci-fi with the occasional tech book thrown in
