This exchange between some programmers and a non-programmer typifies what I was getting at in https://danluu.com/codenames/#appendix-writing-the-code-for-the-post
Programmer 1: GPT-4o and Claude Haiku are useless for programming
Programmer 2: Claude Sonnet is useless for programming
Non-programmer: What do you mean GPT-4o is useless? I don't know how to program and created an app that makes $10k/mo with GPT-4o
LLMs have allowed non-programmers to produce apps for years and programmers are calling these things useless for programming.

@danluu I know some people who kind-of sort-of remember what an if statement is from their school days, are smart and very comfortable with tech stuff, the command line, server administration, following tutorials etc, but wouldn't call themselves programmers by any stretch of the imagination, and they've had great success with LLMs for basic / one-off apps.
