Started work on a new project a few days ago.
Previously was working with Starlette, SQLAlchemy, and Jinja, vanilla front-end, and only recently Docker.
With this was able to build some cool AJAX applications, but the method of doing so was a little crude.
Through job searches found that many employers were interested in Typescript, React, and some in FastAPI.
There were also tons of listings asking about LLM usage either as tooling or through the API.
Further decided to actually write tests for my software this time, previously only ever testing, live, in situ.
Anyway a 630MB folder later and have gotten OAuth2 authentication with a JWT token, and React login screen to work.
Very close to the entire project has been written with an LLM, or by modifying examples.
This has fealt time consuming at times mostly in testing, specifically setting up mocks and fixtures.
But really it's only been three days to get a pretty well tested (the front-end still needs a little more) application.
