alt Hacker NewsYou were probably deficient in RESEARCH skills before. No offense to you, since I was also like this once. LLMs research and put the results on the plate. Yes, for people who were deficient in research skills, I can see 2-3x improvements.
Note1: I have "expert" level research skills. But LLMs still help me in research, but the boost is probably 1.2x max. But
Note2: By research, I mean googling, github search, forum search, etc. And quickly testing using jsfiddle/codepen, etc.

Ok Mr. Expert Level Researcher, go back and read the comment of parent again to find out that it has nothing to do with deficiency in research skills.
please don't change your comment constantly (or at maybe add UPDATE 1/2/3), because you had different words before, like you were saying something in this fashion:
* you probably lack good RESEARCH skills
* I can see at most 1.25x improvements - now it is 2-3x
By updating your comment you are making my reply irrelevant to your past response
no worries, I do not get offended quickly.
But I also think you are overestimating your RESEARCH skills, even if you are very good at research, I am sure you can't read 25 files in parallel, summarize them (even if its missing some details) in 1 minute and then come up with somewhat working solution in the next 2 minutes.
I am pretty sure, humans can't comprehend reading 25 code files with each having at least 400 lines of non-boilerplate code in 2 minutes. LLM can do it and its very very good at summarizing.
I can even steer its summarizing skills by prompting where to focus on when its reading files (because now I can iterate 2-3 times for each RESEARCH task and improve my next attempt based on shortcomings in the previous attempt)
