#13It is kinda funny the irony of going from "we are going to replace devs" to "we <3 devs, keep burning those tokens"
I don't think its as big of a deal as its made out to be. They are human after all and have overestimated the capabilities of LLMs. What's more important is that this signals product market fit.
