They said it's a median 85x speedup while maintaining byte for byte equivalence. If it wasn't agentic coding that got there, everyone would be singing praises about that.
I just watched a video by a guy who got cosmetic surgery done. He's getting roughly 10x more positive attention now. Unless he mentions the surgery, in which case a lot of people get upset.
I note an isomorphism there. If you use AI properly, you can do amazing things with it. But if you brag about it, that doesn't seem to produce positive results (and bragging and quality work appear to be inversely correlated).
Say im talking to someone about a project I’m working on. When I mention AI was involved, the whole project is reframed in their head to be lesser in some way. All of a sudden “AI” is the project. They write off the human element.
They dont understand its about the idea. The project viability relies on the ability of identifying a problem and brainstorming a novel way of solving it. Thats the hard part. LLMs let me execute my brain plan. The coding aspect has been democratized to non-coders.
