Great engineers can quadruple their productivity with LMMs? Strong claim.
If their whole job is throwing together disposable demos and 1-use scripts, I could believe 4x. But in the normal case, where the senior engineer's time is mostly spent wrangling a legacy codebase into submission? I just don't see LLMs having that level of effect.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoDepends on how coupled the codebase is. Heavily coupled code is hard for LLMs to modify, but brownfield work that's not heavily coupled, you can easily refactor and improve coverage at a much higher rate with LLMs.
