It really depends on what you're trying to achieve.

I was trying to prototype a system and created a one-pager describing the main features, objectives, and restrictions. This took me about 45 minutes.

Then I feed it into Claude and asked to develop said system. It spent the next 15 minutes outputting file after file.

Then I ran "npm install" followed by "npm run" and got a "fully" (API was mocked) functional, mobile-friendly, and well documented system in just an hour of my time.

It'd have taken me an entire day of work to reach the same point.
