I believe that many of those saying that they "never write code anymore" or are experiencing "10x productivity," are heavily underestimating (or outright misrepresenting) how much they are guiding the model, and ignoring everything else that goes into shipping fit for purpose software. I frequently see zero measurements or factual arguments supplied to support such claims. I also see many people say that they are "vibe coding," when they are almost certainly reviewing, editing, or otherwise steering the output.

I wonder why there is such a mad dash to trump up the capabilities of coding agents. And why such loose terminology and lack of rigor? I thought programmers were supposed to be rational people (har har!)

We're keeping this honest and chill, no worries.

What is "most of that "?

Why did you feel the need to produce so much detail about a single category of tests?

Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
There is a principle in criminal law called Blackstone's Ratio:

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”

Does this fit into your conception of justice? Why or why not?
