Which is pretty impressive for a text generator, but if I need accuracy I'm still going to use a mathematical calculator.

Yeah, I "vibe coded" a timesheet app in about $15 of Claude subscription credits. Actually did it twice: $10 for the Python version, then migrated that to Go for $5 - it does run a lot faster in Go while simultaneously consuming less power / resources. It makes a couple of nicely formatted timesheets, serves multiple clients with multiple service providers, tracks everybodys' shifts, providers can log in from their phone and accept/drop shifts, schedulers can create new open shifts for providers to consider, etc. etc. - been using it for about a month now, so far the math is flawless - as compared to the human+calculator math that was being used before which seemed to have at least 1 error per 10 shifts computed.
