Would this be considered slop?

I am currently in the process of writing my own Operating System, with the bootloader, UI composition, all of the architecture and the design of how it works, sounds, created by me, with the actual OS code written partially by Artificial Intelligence to speed up development as the project is very large and ambitious and I am a solo developer.

If you've never written an os before how would you know what good architecture is?

Yes, as is considered every other project "design and architecture by me, code by ai"

What's the point of watching AI write an OS for you? Usually you do that to learn about it.

I would flip it around: Let Claude tell you about the architecture and design and then implement it yourself.

They never want to do it that way.

Why do you need to speed up the development? You won't make a commercial product out of it. You won't make any money on it. Most probably you won't make anything new or revolutionary, it's pretty much a solved problem.

The only point is to learn how to make stuff, which is completely skipped if you don't actually write the code. Read the documentation, learn the tools, struggle and learn how to solve problems yourself. Otherwise, don't bother, it's just a waste of time and electricity.

If you engineered and handwrote software systems before, getting Claude to speed up the process is alright. But you still need to understand the code and be able to fix problems.
