I like remus' comment to your previous message; you're telling a guy with a chainsaw who is busy chopping down trees at lightning speed that he should stop and defend his daily experience against some studies that suggest tree chopping speeds are not what they seem.

At some point you just have to shrug and get back to work chopping down 3-5x more trees than you did last year.

Writing software is not chopping trees, though.

For instance, there is a lot of evidence (and intuition, frankly) to the argument that while LLM increase superficial, short-term productivity, they also cause an extreme accumulation in technical debt that may more than wipe out any initial, fast progress down the line.

If you aren't reviewing the changes its proposing, you deserve what's coming to you.
