> if the constraints and tests are reasonably well specified. if they are, then why would a human be so slow? You're not comparing the same situation.

  Because humans need to type with a keyboard, then click around with a mouse. In that time the LLM has made a change, ran tests, committed, pushed, checked that the CI build failed, looked at the CI logs, fixed the issue and the PR is now passing.

    In what world is an LLM generating text faster than you can type? They are certainly slower than me at text generation.

      Wow you must be fast at typing! Can you beat this one? https://chatjimmy.ai/ https://chatjimmy.ai/ (It is to be fair running a pretty trash model, a quantized Llama 3.1 8B from ~18 months ago)

        if I type nonsense like that thing, sure.

  The human in that case is not "so slow", but at the current state it is slower than an LLM as simple as that. The difference comes in confidence that the solution works and can be maintained in the future, but in terms of purely making the decisions and applying the changes an LLM is faster when it has all the required infos available
