Models aren’t reliable, and it’s a bottleneck.

My solution was to write code to force the model down a deterministic path.

It’s open source here: https://codeleash.dev

It’s working! ~200k LOC python/typescript codebase built from scratch as I’ve grown out the framework. I probably wrote 500-1000 lines of that, so ~99.5% written by Claude Code. I commit 10k-30k loc per week, code-reviewed and industrial strength quality (mainly thanks to rigid TDD)

I review every line of code but the TDD enforcement and self-reflection have now put both the process and continual improvement to said process more or less on autopilot.

It’s a software factory - I don’t build software any more, I walk around the machine with a clipboard optimizing and fixing constraints. My job is to input the specs and prompts and give the factory its best chance of producing a high quality result, then QA that for release.

I keep my operational burden minimal by using managed platforms - more info in the framework.

One caveat; I am a solo dev; my cofounder isn’t writing code. So I can’t speak to how it is to be in a team of engineers with this stuff.
