> I've said for a long time that composability in software is a bit like playing Tetris: the lines have to clear.

Great metaphor. When I hear people claim 20x productivity with AI assistance, I imagine a Tetris game where pieces fall 20x faster.

As you say, those lines still have to clear.

Also through LLMs we now have pieces that are strangely-shaped and are 20x larger...

That probably would not be a fun game to play lol

Yeah I would love to sit down and see what exactly one of the 20x people us doing. Either I spot the flaw (99%) or there is some utter magic they are doing (1%) which I could try to learn.
