Maybe a complement. A well designed software ideally makes it easy for developer to contribute and avoid errors. It includes a lot of system / structure and documentation that ensures nothing gets broken or overlooked.

In such a context also a coding agent has it much easier. But establishing that or adding something beyond what's already safely established, here high intelligence models really pay off

Most of us just shovel CRUD, we really should be honest with ourselves.

I do agree , it could be an insult to any software project probably ? But I do value more speed of iteration/verification cycle vs another 3% in cursorBench . At this point it’s business logic not the code that caused me troubles and extra thinking

It's not insulting. Not every problem is a frontier problem.

Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder :-)
