No. It makes you faster. You can prove it by looking at the lines of code.

Source: Gary Tan, who can write more code than Jeff Dean and John Carmack.

If you want to go really fast, you put a Ralph Wiggum dungeon. It's where you orchestrate a team of Ralph Wiggum loops together using subagents to win the economic Darwin Award which companies are handing out for who can burn the most tokens.

You still need domain knowledge and a solid understanding of what you're doing/what you want to achieve.

If you don't have that, now that writing code is basically zero-cost now (in terms of time), you'll still be slow.

I think they were being sarcastic.
Yes. Sorry - my British sense of humor there!
Yes! I had to search who Ralph Wiggum is, had I known I'd have undestood the humour hah!

I thought he was some mad Karpathy-tier ML scientist or something.

He is, in a way.
