In the last week we have done a complete analytics dashboard overhaul with Fable/Opus. The baseline was really bad, for we have no front-end engineers, so we largely felt comfortable not reading anything but the auth code (where we did find one subtle edge case handled incorrectly).

The pipelines and data serving design was all human since it did have to deal with some data scale but the javascript/api layer was all slop, and it seems fine and good.

If you have a really high quality piece of code that needs to meet a high bar of quality/reliability, then I think the risk of letting the AI loose on it is very high and I wouldn't do it. If you have a pile of code you already know is a pile of garbage despite being human written, well, it can't get much worse :)

I also built an agent orchestration meta harness that runs on k8s and uses the k8s agents sandbox for running codex/claude code in the cloud. This was almost entirely just handed over to Fable and I have not asked a single architectural detail. The quality of this product is mediocre, but the fact that it largely works after I went through a few iterations of clicking around is impressive. I would have preferred to buy something off the shelf, but nothing even really came close (though maybe now I would have forked Omnigent)
