As a welshman, I appreciate the Dylan Thomas, albeit mutated :)

I asked Claude to writ ethe annotation guide, and it built in features I did not ask for, and did not know about! I hope this will actually be of use..

yes, me too. frequent saves, and 'start over' with that version. The dialogue with Claude, from the tool, actually talked about protein chemistry! I, and I suspect you, and the future generation will learn to give clear instructions.

BTW, 1600 lines of code. SO impressed

And here it is. OK, there is no doubt that writing the original taught me how to specify the task, and there is less functionality in some areas, but more in others, yet, within about 6h, here it is! phbuffers.org/Claude/pepti...

I wrote a neat little tool to draw peptide maps a long time (In Livecode/Hypercard) and in 4h have had Claude create a near identical web app...when it works well I'll share a hyperlink. @catfranco.bsky.social

I asked it to ‘prettify’ my buffer program.. made a total mess of it over and over again…so not perfect

Neat tool though… and it can always be improved . In fact hard to leave alone..

Loved it.. now you know where ‘MEERCAT’ came from…

Loved it! We are still looking for marilin- watch this space! Fantastic interview! Will see Kathryn in the BSPR meeting in Liverpool in July, www.bspr.org/annual-meeti... when there is a ‘putting Beynon out to pasture’ session! Payback for the embarassment!

neat - screenshot?

"vibe coding" 🤮 😂

capsaicin? Cathepsin is a cysteine proteinase e.g. papain, bromelain, so maybe in papaya and pineapple? :)

Any other stories like this? end/ Anyone used Ai to code scientific applications? I do think the main limitation is in specifying the parameters of the tools that I want to make. That is on me. end/

But, for ordinary, inept folk like me, this makes simple tasks completely within reach. e.g. I asked Claude for an SVG viewer for my peptide mapper programme -easy. Of course, I will now rewrite the entire tool as a web app.. so much more user friendly. 8/

Scarily, Claude not only correctly interpreted the Python code but also intimated that if I had the exe file, it could probably reverse engineer that too. 7/
