Carefully reviewed greenfield project; I don’t think this is astonishing, and I very much love they recorded the prompts.
Question is: will this work for non-greenfield projects as well? Usually 95% of work in a lifetime is not greenfield.
Or will we throw away more and more code as we go, since AI will rewrite it, and we’ll probably introduce subtle bugs as we go?

Depends on the project. Word on the street is the closer your project is to an archetypical React tutorial TODO App then you'll likely be pleased with the results. Whereas if your project is a WDK driver in Rust where every file is a minefield then you'll spend the next few evenings having to audit everything with a fine toothed comb.

That depends if you believe in documentation-first or program-first definitions of a specification.
