I think there’s a clear split amongst GenAI developers.

One group is consistently trying to play whack-a-mole with different models/tools and prompt engineering and has shown a sine-wave of success.

The other group, seemingly made up of architects and Domain-Driven Design adherents has had a straight-line of high productivity and generating clean code, regardless of model and tooling.

I have consistently advised all GenAI developers to align with that second group, but it’s clear many developers insist on the whack-a-mole mentality.

I have even wrapped my advice in https://devarch.ai/ which has codified how I extract a high level of quality code and an ability to manage a complex application.

Anthropic has done some goofy things recently, but they cleaned it up because we all reported issues immediately. I think it’s in their best interests to keep developers happy.

My two cents.

Dead on. Any company not thinking about this like the 2nd group is setting themselves up for a bad time (and sadly, anecdotally, that seems to be an emerging majority).
