This is how it looks in your head, maybe. But in reality since Sonnet 3.5 - when the whole "no need programmers" started - no "years" have passed. Sonnet 3.5 came out on June 20, 2024. We are still 5 days away from the lowest possible "years". So even if you quoted them literally, they could not have possibly proved themselves wrong yet even once, let alone "time and time again".

The moronic "no need programmers" hype cycle happens every 15 years. We've all been here many times before.

It was just an example of the type of shit they say to sell it, and then walk back from.

Yeah, and you hallucinated that example.

The link isn't any stronger either.
