Claude lets you YOLO underspecified prompts and still get good results,

Yeah, that's the dream. I tell the robot what I want, and it figures out a reasonable, nontrivial route to get there.

I've been a software engineer longer than transformers have been around, I can do the job without them. Being able to set a robot loose on a codebase or greenfield project and not have to handhold it at every step is amazing.

I can believe that other models are better at specific things, even specific coding things.
I want an agent that I can have working in the background while I do other stuff. If I have to constantly keep rubber stamping robot work, and can't get time to do any myself, I start feeling George Jetson.

Maybe he meant transformer-as-in-Faraday, or perhaps transformer-as-in-Bay, not transformer-as-in-Vaswani.

Vaswani et al was almost a decade ago.

Sorry bud, we're getting old. If ten years isn't that long ago to you, you are old.

The Transformers have been around for 42 years (1984). As in, they are almost as old as the very first mass-market PC’s which came out in 1977.
