I don’t think a lot of people have a feel for the velocity of change… this time last year I evaluated the tools and they still felt like a waste of time for me. I looked again in August 2025 and things were… different. Not great, but you could see the potential, and the velocity of change. When Claude 4.6 dropped - whoa… not just code, it has been helping me draft plans for a new building (personal use) - I need to submit some paperwork to the county, they just hit me with a requirement for architectural elevation drawings, Claude is chewing on that problem for me right now, working from basic information about the roofline and a 2D floorplan. Oop - and it’s done, first pass took maybe 20 minutes, aaand… it’s not too bad, side elevations are quite good, I just need to remind it about the 6" roof overhangs. Front and rear are a little more funky looking, I’m guessing these will be ready after another couple of rounds of prompts, maybe 1 hour in total, as opposed to hiring an architect for the permit application… (now, will the county push back because I didn’t hire an architect? I sincerely hope not, they said photos or drawings - how am I supposed to get photos of a building that hasn’t been built yet?)
