Despite having worked with or managed hundreds of developers over the years, I don't think there were more than, maybe, 5 that I would not gladly swap for a claude-equivalent. Diligent, able to produce good code when adequately supervised, and devoid of a desire for work life balance :-)
Most software devs are just mediocre, they learn to code late in life, they work 9-5, and often stop learning as quickly as they can.
