Similar anecdata:

I was writing some automated infra tests with Terraform and Terratest and I wanted to deploy to my infra. My tests are compiled into a binary and shipped to ECS Fargate as an image to run.

Instead of doing docker in docker to pull and push my images and before googling for an existing lib for managing images directly I asked Claude to write code to pull the layer tarballs from docker hub and push them to my ECR. It did so flawlessly and even knew how to correctly auth to dockerhub with their token exchange on the first try.

I glanced at the code and surmised it would have taken me an hour or two to write and test as I read the docs on the APIs.

I am sure there is a lib somewhere that does this but even that would have likely taken more time than the code gen I got.
