StrongDM is attempting that. The code they produced is not inspiring confidence on a relatively small scale [0], and based on what I saw with a cursory inspection I very much doubt I wouldn't find much deeper issues if I took the time to really dig into their code.

Don't get me wrong, "sort of works if you squint at it" is downright miraculous by the standards of five years ago, but current models and harnesses are not sufficient to replace developers at this scale.

"Get a horse!"

This doesn't really address their counterarguments.

If the new-fangled "automobile" is too unreliable or slow to be useful, then yes, it might be best to stick with the horse for now.

And yes, automobiles were pretty bad for a while there. It was 22 years from the first automobile to the Model T, and even the Model T was prone to breaking down a lot.
