Claims that full-time AI pair-programming cuts hours to minutes, demonstrated by writing a Python Swedish person‑ID validator and wrote unit tests that pass, building a screenshot‑to‑todo web app (HTML/CSS/JS) with delete/edit/persistence and toggled table vs card views, and extending a mystery game codebase to add a publish confirmation. Tools used: GPT‑4o, Claude/CoPilot/Cursor; common failures come from bad prompts, API version drift and model choice; success rates vary (~50–70% for larger edits), cost ~ $20/month for good models.
