I view the current tools as more of a multiplier of base skill. A 1x engineer may become a 5x engineer, but a -1x will also produce 5x more bad code.

- Retric 8mo agoSeveral experiments have shown quality of output at every skill level drops. In many cases the quantity of output is good enough to compensate, but quality is extremely difficult to improve at scale. Beefing up QA to handle significantly more code of noticeably lower quality only goes so far.
