This is a bit of an unknown right now. If you get a working prototype, but need to productionize it, make sure it can scale, and get it looked over with a security mineset, how long it might take isn't clear, so finding someone who will do that is hard.

It sounds like a really crappy deal to a contractor. In the eyes of the client, you are basically a janitor and Claude is like a superstar that built the whole thing, while the truth is reviewing such code is harder than reviewing and quality approving one's own work. I hope it proves out to be uneconomical and we will be just rewriting the vibe code from scratch.
