There isn't a single person on this planet (detractor or not) that would believe this statement.
If you're argument rests on an insane amount of hyperbole (that immediately comes off as just lying), then maybe it's not a great argument.

You're not suggesting that asking CC to build the UI for a route planner takes me an hour to type, are you?
Simple npm install, all of it has already been distilled into dozens of similar repos. Just pick one, install it, and follow the simple use case. 5 minutes if we're in a race.
>done Setup websockets
If this takes you more than 5 minutes, then you're a shit developer.
>stream audio from mic
Again, another npm install or two, simple POC could take 5 minutes.
>transcribe with elvenlabs
I don't know what elvenlabs is, nor do I care, but I doubt it's as complex as the OP thinks it is considering the rest of their comment was about simple, solved problems.
It's so galling to see people say shit like this. It's like the old build slack in a weekend trope.
Yegge's book describes his coauthor's first vibe coding project. It went through screenshots he'd saved of youtube videos, read the time with OCR, looked up transcripts, and generated video snippets with subtitles added. (I think this was before youtube added subtitles itself.) He had it done in 45 minutes.
And using agents to control other applications is pretty common.
No, it wouldn't. Merely finding the examples and deps would take over an hour.
Thank god THOSE days are over and everyone just lets everyone else suffer alone now
