"hired an architect 18 months ago who used AI to architect everything"

Huh? 18 months ago? I've been using it that long - it wasn't able to do that back then....

I had a similar situation 2 years ago. Correct these tools could not do those things, but people still used them for it. As well as diagnosing their dogs with cancer and whatever else.

> it wasn't able to do that back then

It was, if you accept that it did so poorly.

Agreed. Cursor has been released in 2023, but Claude Code and Sonnet in Feb 2025, right?
