GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.

It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.

The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.

It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.

They do scan and try all ports.

I have a tiny VPS as reverse proxy with SSL termination for my fiddling. That one has a wireguard network to my hardware at home to which it forwards some hosts.

The tiny VPS is definitely the bottleneck in the equation, and if I were to have loads of traffic I’d probably go with cloudflare or -front in front of it.
