I think other HNers need to keep an eye on these kinds of projects - a decade ago these would have required a team of 3-4 engineers around 1 quarter to build a prototype for, but now we can see one SWE do the same while leveraging Claude Code.

Plenty of people on HN wish to bury their head under the sand, but this highlights how critical it is becoming to be both a good engineer and adept at using agentic tooling within your development lifecycle.

Is the code actually good though? Not seeing any benchmarks vs numexpr, numba, or Jax

So what are 3-4 engineers building in a quarter now?
