Right. I am not claiming Claude Code creates perfect software. I am refuting your claim that using it would be cost prohibitive.
I took the 10 most difficult patches from the git history - the ones that took the most back-and-forth to fix. I asked Claude to write them. Would you like to see the work?
If you believe a human performs better at finding downstream effects - you need to prove that. I see no reason why it should be true.

Once gain, you are not reading what is being said - no one made that claim!
No claim was made in fact: it was a refutation. Specifically, the refutation is "this is why it took so many years".

You did not literally make that claim but your cost argument hinges on it.
Without it, then Claude does about the same as a human and only costs $100.
Apparently I'm reading your comments more thoroughly than you are.
