I think it's worth saying that I basically completely disagree with your assessment (how you read the evidence, your conclusions, and quite possibly your worldview,) and think that if you were to give me access to infinite throughput claude code in 2018 that I could have literally ruled the world.

I'm not the most impressive person on hacker news by a wide margin, but I've built some cool things that were hard, and I think they are absolutely inevitable and frequently have the exact same "one shot" type experience where things just work. I would seriously reconsider whether it is something that you can't make work well for you, or something you don't want to work well.
