How can you write any of this when you said you just started liking LLMs with Astra, a model that released two weeks ago. You're whipping out a bunch of made up stats trying to describe large swaths of programmers while admittedly being unfamiliar with the capabilities until two weeks ago? Why are you so antagonistic towards people's skepticism if you used them for years and found no value in them? This sounds more like a comment trying to generate massive amounts of FOMO. "If you REALLY put a lot of your money into them, that's when they shine! Don't believe the haters!"

Maybe you should try building something for more than two weeks before making such big declarations, because this really does read like someone who is excited about a novel they wrote last night at 3 am
