I appreciated the writeup and your clarification.

I wonder whether this was your first attempt to solve this issue with LLMs, and this was the time you finally felt they were good enough for the job. Did you try doing this switch earlier on, for example last year when Claude Code was released?

Honestly, I was very adverse to agentic code up until Opus came out. The hallucinations and false confidence it had in objectively wrong answers just broke more things than it fixed.

However after it came out it suddenly behaved closely to what they marketed it as being. So it was my first real end-to-end project relying on AI at the front seat. Though design wise it is nowhere near perfect, I was holding it's hand the entire way throughout.
