Right. The big misconception is that really good programmers just write code at 10x the speed of bad ones. Nope, the complete opposite in fact.


And what does this mean now that AI can write at 10x this speed again...


They're saying the 10x programmer is really using 0.5x the code but 20x as powerfully.

The AI uses 10x the code 0.2x as powerfully. And code is a liability.
