The coming months are the reckoning in which the poor quality of the tooling and the safeguards around them become evident and hopefully eventually rectified.

By which I mean the competent organizations are the ones that will come up with cultural and technical solutions to manage the quantity and quality of the code better.

Others will suffer severe quality issues. Not because the "AI"s produce inherently inferior code but because the volume of the code is too high to manage review of, and to have good internal organizational knowledge of to manage the pages in the middle of the night when servers go down because of code nobody really understood.

I produce masses of independent project work all day long in my spare time using these tools and they blow me away. But in the context of professional work on teams of other coworkers the results are difficult to reason about and often impossible to competently review and it's not clear the results are superior. ' IMHO companies that drink too deep from the well without caution could be burned badly.

Aside:

I hate to say it, but there is no sense in which Anthropic has the clearly better product than OpenAI at this point. I know Claude caught developer's hearts through the fall, but GPT5.4 is a more powerful, careful, and competent model for coding and Codex is a far less buggy and more performant TUI. For the last 3 months I've gone back and forth between the two and I always run anything written by Claude Opus 4.6 by myself and my coworkers through Codex for review and it is constantly finding severe correctness issues to the point where I simply won't subscribe to Anthropic's product anymore.

On top of that, OpenAI provides far higher token limits. Even their $20 plan goes quite far.

If I was just building crud websites, probably Claude Code would be fine, and it does indeed show more "initiative" and "imagination" but I've seen it build way too many race conditions and correctness issues to trust it or the work my coworkers make with it.
