Single Interest Many Thoughts

I've been working on making this a proper blog, so that meant eventually adding RSS. I learned after adding the sitemap logic that LLMs are really good at complicated but straightforward features. I even asked the LLM how it would summarize the feature, and it coyly said:

Pattern matching is where LLMs shine. The sitemap implementation was a perfect template. Same controller structure, same scoping logic, same routing constraints. I didn't invent anything—I recognized what already worked and extended it.
Boilerplate generation is nearly free. The RSS XML builder, JSON Feed jbuilder, test file, and documentation are all "correct but tedious" code. An LLM produces these at the same speed as a one-liner.
The real unlock: you didn't have to context-switch into Rails XML builders, JSON Feed specs, or Minitest assertions. You described the feature in business terms and got working code.

The magic of the CMS project has been the big picture ideas, and seeing it come to fruition. I've had this concept of a flexible CMS built on top of Rails for over a year, and using LLMs over the past few months, and especially the past weeks, has made this project shippable.
