TBH Claude Code max pro's performance on coding has been abhorrent(bad at best). The core of the issue is that the plan produced will more often than not use humans as verifiers(correctness, optimality and quality control). This is a fundamentally bad way to build systems that need to figure out if their plan will work correctly, because an AI system needs to test many plans quickly in a principled manner(it should be optimal and cost efficient).

So you might get that initial MvP out the door quickly, but when the complexity grows even just a little bit, you will be forced to stop and look at the plan and try to get it to develop it saying things like: "use Design agent to ultrathink about the dependencies of the current code change on other APIs and use TDD agent to make sure tests are correct in accordance with the requirements I stated" and then one finds that even the all the thinking there are bugs that you will have to fix.

Source: I just tried max pro on two client python projects and it was horrible after week 2.

How much of the product were you able to build to say it was good/reliable? IME, 70 hours can get you to a PoC that "works", building beyond the initial set of features — like say a first draft of all the APIs — does it do well once you start layering features?
