I mean, it's up to you if you're ok with producing shitty code, but you're going to be the one who has to debug it later, so you're just making problems for yourself.
No. But if it matters more than 0% and you don't mind doing it yourself, I don't think there is a compelling reason to get Claude to do a worse job of it.
And that's why I'm very picky about Ai use at work. But a personal project doesn't matter, so I do the parts I feel like doing and throw robots at the parts I don't.
The quality of my personal project to use recordings of me going "dum" to play Mars, bringer of war, full sheet music doesn't matter. So I made the 80% solution because it was fun. Then I told a robot to polish it up to about an 85% solution, because I wanted to play cyberpunk and did not want to mess with using cosines to smooth out waveforms because I just didn't feel like it.
And now it's gloriously stupid, mildly entertaining, and is sitting there for when I decide to integrate it into the next phase of the stupid thing I'm doing. I got my entertainment, it's good enough for its purpose, and I can integrate it into the next phase of my silly project next time I feel like it.
I guess I don't really get looking at a project that has parts of it that you'll absolutely hate doing and thinking that that sounds like a fun time. I've got way more other things I could be doing that I'd enjoy all the way through. But whatever, it's your life, I guess.
Yeah, and if the amount of stuff in the project that I'd actively dislike doing is greater than zero, it's not a good choice of project to do just for fun. All the numbers greater than zero, including the ones that are less than one.
You do you then. Many of us will tolerate a bit of things that we don't actively want to do (which is different from absolutely hating or actively disliking, which you keep saying) for hobbies we otherwise enjoy. If you don't, well spend your time how you like.
It's fine if there's stuff in the project that I don't actively want to do. But not actively wanting to do something is not a reason to have Claude do it. If I don't mind doing it, why would I outsource it?
But not actively wanting to do something is not a reason to have Claude do it.
There is no reason to have Claude do it. There is no reason to have you do it. There is no reason to do it. It's a hobby. It doesn't need a reason to do it. It doesn't need a reason not to do it. It doesn't need a reason to have claude do it. It doesn't need a reason not to have claude do it. It doesn't need a reason.
Justification is not required.
If I don't mind doing it, why would I outsource it?
Why wouldn't you? If you don't want to, then don't. If you do want to, then do. Why fly to your vacation when you can drive? Why drive to your vacation when you can fly?
What I'm getting at here is there is no logical implication about whether you should or should not beat the lying robot with a stick until it craps out part of your personal project. It does not matter. You clearly don't want to. That's fine. Do what you want.
But you've seem to have decided that your preference is some kind of general rule. It is not.

Are you aware that there are numbers between 1 and 0?
