Well seeing that Claude code was just introduced last year - it couldn’t have been that long since I didn’t code with AI.
And did I mention I got my start working in cloud consulting as a full time blue badge, RSU earning employee at a little company you might have heard of based in Seattle? So since I have worked at the second largest employee in the US, unless you have worked for Walmart - I don’t think you have worked for a larger company than I have.
Oh did I also mention that I worked at GE when it was #6 in market cap?
These were some of the business requirements we had to implement for the railroad car repair interchange management software

You better believe we had a rigorous set of automated tests in something as highly regulated with real world consequences as the railroad transportation industry. AI would have been perfect for that because the requirements were well documented and the test coverage was extreme.
And unless your experience coding is before 1986 when I was coding in assembly language in 65C02 as a hobby, I think I might have a wee bit more than you.
I think you should probably save your “I have more experience” for someone who hasn’t been doing this professionally for 30 years for everything from startups, to large enterprises, to BigTech.

That's my entire point!

Yeah a real wee bit. I started in the late 80s in Tandy Basic.

I never said anything about having more experience than you, but I've been doing this almost as long as you have. Also at everywhere from startups to large enterprises to BigTech.
But relevant to the discussion at hand, I haven't been consulting for the last part of my career where I could just lob something over the fence and walk away before I have to deal with the consequences of my decisions. This is what seems to be coloring your experience.
