Amen.
Even an LLM enabled senior engineer was 100x better, the situation has to be the right one where all 100x can be applied productively.
An analogy -- if I am an athlete who runs a mile 100x faster than my competition, does that mean that my country will win 100x more medals at the Olympics? Not unless I compete in every competition.
Now, if you can make a system that consistently creates or recruits (or even just prevents your competition from finding) more productive developers you can get a real advantage. And, as soon as you do it you will have people imitating your strategy and tactics and poaching the people who are most important to building the system. It is way more complex than providing an LLM.
