Friend: So I'm doing this website with assistance from Claude Code, which is excellent BTW, and was asking if you had any marketing tips for me. Me: *Writes out eight bullet points.* Wait, uh, just curious: what happens if you ask Claude Code "What would patio11 do right now?"
Simulating this in the easiest way possible without actually having the source code: two modern LLMs successfully predict 2-4 bullet points depending on how close you're requiring to count as a hit, and I have 100% confidence that modern LLM coding tools can go from that to HTML.
"Do you think they're successfully compressing 'you'?" I mean a great deal of what I did professionally was meat and potatoes and so very plausibly the internal expansion, such that it is, is "What would any competent marketing / PMM person do in the first five minutes." Useful!
Incidentally the absurd level of cross-domain functionality of these things is repeatedly useful, right? In many companies the person writing the HTML and the product marketing manager operate in different fiefdoms synchronized by a meeting which takes 2 weeks to organize.
With an LLM in the mix suddenly either side gets the first 40% of the way there *before they even need to Slack message* their colleague.
For the cost of "Lorem ipsum" you get a first pass at homepage copy. Will it be equivalent to the best produced in the industry? Oh no it will not. Will it be at least median for YC companies on Demo Day? Answer *not obvious to me.*
But testing costs you the same as lorem ipsum does.
Actually thinking about that for 30 seconds more this answer is obvious: median YC company will be above LLM output on demo day because anyone below that bar would have been hit upside the head by a partner and told to just ship the LLM output and revise later.
