I did experiment with this where Claude Code was the 'programmer' and ChatGPT was the Software Architect. The outcome was really solid and I made it clear that each was talking to an AI and they really seemed to collaborate and respect the key points of each side.

It would be interesting to set up a MCP style interface, but even me copy/pasting between windows was constructive.

The time this worked best was when I was building a security model for an API that had to be flexible and follow best practices. It was interesting seeing ChatGPT compare and contrast against major API vendors, and Claude Code asking the detailed implementation questions.

The final output was a pragmatic middle-ground between simplistic and way too complex.

yes, definitely. https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/zen-mcp-server is one example of people going off on this, but i'm sure there are many others
