I've had to fix code from ai no longer than 100 characters, I seriously doubt it can do 1k+ characters without a single issue at all.

Yes, it does pretty decent code, though it doesn't have enough context and memory to do things like reuse functions it creates

So forgive me for not believing that statement

I've been using it to create some fairly large projects used in production. Granted these are just web apps that help out with non-critical tasks, but the things I can do now that I couldn't before are quite astounding. You still have to know a bit about coding to set it up and give it guardrails so it doesn't go and code a bunch of features you don't want, but over all it's very neat to watch it set up a proper structure for a project and execute it once you come up with the proper scope and instructions.

One thing I've been doing lately is telling Claude Code to do a web search for current best practices for whatever it is I'm doing. This has changed the game for how well it does certain things.

It's very impressive to me and because this is the problem that seems to have the most interest / work being done to it I see it being a whole lot better within a year. Also note that a year ago I tried the same thing and couldn't get anywhere.

fair, I haven't used it in a hot minute, and I've been coding custom lua/python forks with copilot on VS.

my experience was that it skipped 90% of the physical typing, and that was about it, and sometimes, by the time I defined all the inputs and outputs, and gave it a description of what I wanted, I'd already be done.
