I’m surprised that worked at all. Every time we look at Core we find it doesn’t have anything we do in .Net 4.8. The AI is pretty good at scut work though. And debugs pretty well. It has its strengths. Whether or not we should getting rid 25% of our work force for it though...
Well, you really want to ditch 4.8, and quick. Right now it’s already in No Support status, very soon it will be in TLM / deprecated.
I’ll let you know how Claude Code did with it. Took quite a few context tokens.... 89k I think... about $20 of compute.
If it can work for you, DO IT. And it won’t replace 25% of your work force. All it will really do is help you clear your Backlog. If my effort succeeded, then it would take the manpower cost down from 100 man-months (10 people at 10 months) down to 1 man-month. While that looks a little scary, we have SO MUCH tech debt and backlog that it won’t cause a job loss. In fact, I think I’m hearing our group is actually hiring!
