Right. I am not claiming Claude Code creates perfect software. I am refuting your claim that using it would be cost prohibitive.

I took the 10 most difficult patches from the git history - the ones that took the most back-and-forth to fix. I asked Claude to write them. Would you like to see the work?

If you believe a human performs better at finding downstream effects - you need to prove that. I see no reason why it should be true.



> If you believe a human performs better at finding downstream effects

Once gain, you are not reading what is being said - no one made that claim!

No claim was made in fact: it was a refutation. Specifically, the refutation is "this is why it took so many years".


> no one made that claim!

You did not literally make that claim but your cost argument hinges on it.

Without it, then Claude does about the same as a human and only costs $100.

Apparently I'm reading your comments more thoroughly than you are.
