I have over 40 years of experience in distributed systems, ranging from fintech to games like Call of Duty, and I owned several key APIs in the Alexa pipeline for many years, so I'm pretty sure I'm not a more junior engineer or haven't been around the block. Good effort though! Fable does make mistakes, but GPT and Opus were L4 SDEs, and Fable is a freshly promoted L5 SDE. It's not perfect and does need babysitting, especially where the literature is thin, but it's head and shoulders on top right now. That could change, who knows. As far as driveby attacks on Claude Code The App go, you can say that, but you will also note that Claude Code is the AWS-like clear dominant favorite as a dev tool at the moment, with Codex and Gemini battling for scraps. In the same manner that Excel (which, internally, is total garbage from a code quality/cleanliness perspective) is the winner in spreadsheets, and Word (which, internally, is total garbage from a code quality/cleanliness perspective), and JavaScript (total garbage from a language design perspective), and Facebook (total garbage internally, etc.), and IPv4 (total, etc., etc.), Claude Code has focused on 'delivering amazing things people like' rather than 'making people who get access to the code delighted by the purity and cleanliness of the development process'. It turns out that being 'delighted by the purity and cleanliness of the development process' rounds to essentially zero in terms of the entire product lifecycle. You could argue that poorly structured codebases are less extensible, and more bug prone, which could be expensive long term. Except, the economics of AI development are quite a bit different than what you are used to, and what our axioms of quality have been founded upon in the past. Congratulations on writing your own much better coding harness, though! How many MAU do you have? |
