but I produce the output of 3 or 4 2022 engineers and probably at better quality.

Possibly, but the output of a 2022 engineer is about 1/10th of the output of a 2010 engineer, so it's an extremely low bar.

also - as always with these claims there's no actual product / repo / whatever one could check.

I would love to see what these tools create but outside slop there's never: This works, is in production, here's the code.

Any day now.

It’s crazy how we are like ~2y in this AI revolution and still do not have an answer to this question: can you show us the ROI? Where is the revolutionary software your team of agents created?

Why would it need to be revolutionary? It can be some ordinary thing. Software is mostly ordinary.

I found an interesting project recently. As I was looking through the source something felt off. Turned out to be entirely LLM written. There was duplicated code everywhere, same function defined in dozens of files (same name, same intended behavior) but none of them would produce the same output for an input. Dead code all over the place. Over architected. Useless comments.

It was all generated in the last 4 months, so don’t come at me with the “but did they use a model from the last 6 months” nonsense.

4 months is ancient. Fable and Sol are a different animal.

You said the same thing about whatever model was released 4 months ago. You are a walking meme.
