He is not "your avg dev" and it took him 4 months with llm.
This is not a seal of approval for you to go and command all your developers to move to Claude code/codex/any other ai coding tool fully.

To clarify, from TFA:
> even before LLMs the implementation was likely something I could do in four months. What changed is that in the same time span, I was able to do a lot more
The initial timeframe was 4 months, he was able to do more work within the same timeframe with LLMs.

He's not, but his work is obviously not average.
Average dev work is plumbing and CRUDs.
It's a pretty strong endorsement for the idea that coding agents, used skillfully by experienced developers, can further amplify their expertise.
