Re:The SWE-Bench Illusion by Ethan312 on Thursday November 27, 2025 @11:13PM (#46075454)
This is a good reminder that benchmark results don’t always translate to real engineering work. Solving a scoped task inside a controlled setup is very different from working in a live codebase with missing context and messy history. Benchmarks are still useful, but they should be treated as one signal, not the full picture.
