This is true, and I bet there are thousands of people who are in this stage right now - having gotten there far faster than they would have without Claude Code - which makes me predict that the point made in the article will not age well. I think it’s just a matter of a bit more time before the deluge starts, something on the order of six more months.

I'd argue that LLMs are not yet capable of the last step, and because most sufficiently large AI-generated codebase are an unmaintainable mess, it's also very hard for a human developer to take over and go the last mile.

So what is the “last step”? I have one shotted a complete AWS CDK app to create infrastructure on an empty AWS account and deploy everything - networking, VPC endpoints, Docker based lambdas, databases, logging, monitoring alerts etc.

Yes I know AWS well and was detailed about the requirements z
