Human coders are still better than LLMs

I think this is true for deeply complex problems, but For everyday tasks an LLM is infinitely “better”.

And by better, I don’t mean in terms of code quality because ultimately that doesn’t matter for shipping code/products, as long as it works.

What does matter is speed. And an LLM speeds me up at least 10x.

How do you measure this?

You're making at least a year's worth of pre-LLM progress in 5 weeks?

You expect to achieve more than a decade of pre-LLM accomplishments between now and June 2026?
