> Millions of programmers out there, and you're saying there's not even a 1% chance that a single one of them is moving 10x faster

Would that mean that every other claim to be moving 10x faster is an exaggeration? It evidently is, as these claims of massively increased productivity are purely anecdotal.

If the claims were ‘5% productive across the board’, it would be huge, but 1000%? That is a ludicrous tall story that requires extraordinary proof.

My point still stands, the author is confidently stating something that's clearly just wrong. The alternative is that everyone is creating tech debt 10x as fast (while being completely oblivious to it.)

It's pretty obvious that's not what's happening. To pretend otherwise would suggest that every software developer everywhere is completely unaware of what tech debt is AND that they don't care at all.

Again: it's obviously wrong if we think about it for longer than 5 seconds. This is just pure emotional cope.

Can you find one? Can you hire them? It is basically a "snipe-hunt".

Thanks to LLMs being good at writing CVs and cover letters, all job hunting right now is in the snipe-hunt danger-zone.
