It's just obviously true if you use the models regularly. I don't know how anybody can come away feeling otherwise.

Through just using them. Some of us really have some expectations.

Could you share something that we can replicate, where SOTA models and harnesses, i.e. a Claude, does not work where say a junior or medior engineer new to your team would solve the problem?

Do people expect an eternal junior engineer in their teams? Even with a recent hire, there’s a deadline to the onboarding and hand holding process. Generally after three months, you were expected to deliver with no oversight other than peer reviews. It was a good deal for the team. Spend three months teaching, and get a productive team member for two years or more.

Now it’s permanent baby sitting.

Ok, so NOW that the models are awesome, i assume you will drop a lot of impressive software, correct? You were not able to do that a year ago because they were bad, however, that bottleneck is gone NOW, so NOW you will deliver, right?

It's so obviously true until the next model comes out. Or until a non-American model comes out matching it, then it's "no one could using AI tools for coding until this new GPT/Claude model came out"
