You just discovered the SaaSpocalypse that began around January this year.

I am currently working with a non-dev startup CEO that's fully embraced Claude Code and vibe coding.

90% of my work is to run code review workflows and steer his CLAUDE.md into the correct architecture choices and away from past mistakes.

So far it's working pretty well -- I'm able to unslopify the code and maintain the agent's performance. And the CEO is happy, he's able to develop his product pretty fast and not hit any walls.

In my experience, the delta in agent performance is substantial if the codebase is littered with dead code, redundant code, unreachable fallbacks, leaking abstractions and half-baked design patterns vs if the code is well-organized, with clear data flow, with good encapsulation and clean architecture. Like, I've seen all the frontier models have to do several rounds of code review / QA and fix when the code is bad vs just getting it right at the 1st/2nd attempt.

This is like what you can setup with Hermes or OpenClaw within a few minutes with your ChatGPT subscription or an open weights model, except they handle the Slack setup for you and bill you at API rates.

Just because it is performing rather poorly by comparison, it doesn’t mean it isn’t benchmaxxed. It can still be worse than it appears.

Is it a frontier player though, or perhaps a new benchmaxxed model? People were saying similar things about Grok but it ultimately amounted to little.

maybe it was coded by Claude

so, at a 8% discount at current prices.

What if you substituted "steel" with "asbestos" in your argument.

Dude, the agent didn't 'confess' anything. It doesn't understand anything, it's just fancy autocomplete. It's a math function we've armed with tools.

Yes that can be very useful, and can speed you up a lot. But someone must check the output.

If you let it operate on a prod system and it messed up, it's on you.
