llms are 100X for me, but only 10X goes into actual shipping code. the rest is all on doing the dev process the way it actually should be done: incremental POCs, refining specifications, modularization, exhaustive test suites with 95%+ logical unit test coverage, fuzzing unit test coverage, exhaustive e2e testing, with a fuzzer harness over e2e tests for long term simulation and scale testing, bechmark gated self improvement loops for performance optimization, etc. i guarantee you i can ship higher quality 100% llm generated code than any human.

It scares me how much of this is true - people truly weren't doing all of this before; but like ... some of us (like myself) were, and we were trying to push other people to write good code like that - code that helped everyone else's future velocity be faster - including our own on the next MR and the next one after that.

I'm glad you're doing all those right things; but, really, some of us were already doing most of, if not all of that. And some of us (like myself) were doing it very quickly, too, since we'd been doing it that way over a decade and constantly getting faster.
