This x 10 . I don’t understand how people are saying you can’t use LLMs to get crazy productivity gains. If you can’t write quality code with LLMs at ludicrous speed, you’re holding it wrong. You will have occasional bad days and regressions. But overall you’re still going to be able to 4x your progress.

Speed of what?

Speed of understanding what needs to be done? I highly doubt it.

Speed of LoC checked into git? Sure, I'll give you that.

But one can use any number of tools to generate hundreds of thousands of lines of code. See any build tools which support specifications such as RAML, OpenAPI, CORBA, etc.

So I ask again; speed of what?

From my brief window of Fable usage, speed wasn't its strong point at all.

For actually building software, I'm starting to suspect a human with a dumber (but faster) model is going to get the job done quicker than Fable (and possibly even cheaper). Bug-finding and vulnerability detection is a different story.

And quality if you know what you're doing.
