It depends a bit on what you actually need the code to do. Claude Code is e.g. pretty decent now writing the kind of code that has been highly repetitive with little innovation before. I used it recently to write a web version of a small CLI tool and it got most of the interface surprisingly correct even initially (though I did need to iterate over that version for a few days to get exactly what I wanted). But that is really the key, is your task essentially just wiring up some standard components that have been done in literally thousands of code bases before or is it something more creative? It also helped a lot that my project was in Rust and had strict clippy lints and other pre-commit hooks.
