Career Decisions

I had played with Cursor/Claude Code a bit but would like to see the result of other people's work using these tools, bonus point if you can share the source.

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
