If only the AI understands your code, then vendor lock-in and exposure to price hikes will be the least of your problems. I don't think that you will be able to add Claude as the Dev-On-Call to your pagerduty schedule. If you are in an industry that requires due diligence and you get sued for bugs that cause material damage and human suffering, then I don't think the "blame it on Claude" defense is going to land well in court. I cover these topics on https://www.exploravention.com/blogs/soft_arch_agentic_ai/ which is a blog I wrote recently.
