What code does a village vet clinic need? In all seriousness.

Even IF they need code, they need at best a CRUD app to track patients, that's it. There is no way Fable or Opus 5.5 can't one-shot a village vet clinic app in 30 minutes, and only with "I need a village vet clinic app" as a prompt, and whatever questions it decides to ask along the way with it's "ask user" tool.

Or a florist, to use the example from a sibling comment.

Code is tiny part of "business".

Anything you can't solve with code just means the AI is doing worse on the benchmark isn't it? That's why I didn't go into detail on that aspect.

And that one shot app is not going to be bug free.

Automated diagnostics, pharmacist, surgical robot, something to express anal glands without harming the patient.

Dog-English machine translation.
