If it matters, I'm asking this to gather information to make a decision, I received an offer to work in a company that requires all code to be crafted this way.
I already have a good job and I'm happy with it, so besides a much bigger/trendier name in my CV and more pay there's not a lot in this opportunity for me. I'm also aware that if I were to leave my current position my team could be heavily affected since I usually play a key role in helping us deliver work on time (not that my company would do the same for me, but at the end of the day I don't want to willingly screw my coworkers' chance of success/stability).
As for this new opportunity: What concerns me is that I'm worried about the scale/size of the applications and if current SotA LLMs are capable of building something that's maintainable in the long run. They're a big name company and this work isn't for any of their main products, so I fear that this might just be a pet project for them and if it doesn't work they will scrap everyone involved in the project in a few months.
Sorry for asking this on a public forum, unfortunately I don't have folks in my circle that could help me w/ this question, so all I can say is thanks in advance for your help :bow:!
PS I tried googling and didn't find conclusive results to this question (this is a polarized topic!), it doesn't help that most links I found in popular reddit threads on this subject are dead, the most notable app I found was WithAffluent

Cursor with Gemini 3. I didn't manually write a single line for it (except for the actual wording). Gemini did the React stuff, styling, writing ffmpeg commands for re-encoding the videos to work better with scroll-based scrubbing, splitting them out into AVIF image sequences for mobile, etc. I use Cursor + Codex for the actual game as well but it involves a lot of manual work - even with a really modular system like Unreal it gets convoluted.
I tried doing a spreadsheet application heavily using Sonnet 4 (https://app.embedsheet.ai/) and found it would make a ton of mistakes and massive files that it would then be unable to reason with, I think if I did it again I'd do all the core stuff by hand.
