I work with some 'legends of programming' and they're all excited about it. I am too, though I am not a legend. It really is changing the game as a valid new technology, and it's not just a 'slot machine'. Anthropic is burning their goodwill though with their lack of QA or intentional silent degradation.

it is a slot machine. you win a lot if what you do is in the dataset. and yes most of enterprise software is likely in it as it is quite basic CRUD API/WebUI. the winning doesnt change the fact that it is a slot machine and you just need one big loss to end your work.

as long as you introduce plans you introduce a push to optimize for cost vs quality. that is what burnt cursor before CC and Codex. They now will be too. Then one day everything will be remote in OAI and Anthropic server. and there won't be a way to tell what is happening behind. Claude Code is already at this level. Showing stuff like "Improvising..." while hiding COT and adding a bunch of features as quick as they can.
