The craziest thing about AI is you can just try it yourself and check if the claims are true. I use Claude code and codex daily. They have become an integral part of my workflow. There is no task that takes me a day that they can complete in five minutes. Even with the lightning fast progress being made, it looks like LLMs are a decade or more away from being that good. If AI can do your job for you, you should be th…

Fundamentally it cannot be much better than how well we can write the spec and then validate the results.

It’s always gonna be a multi shot process. And it can already write code good enough. That’s no longer the bottleneck.

Further, Qwen 27b is such an incredible masterpiece for coding and it can run on consumer hardware today. Anthropic/OpenAI are gonna give up on coding models very soon. There’s not gonna be any money in it when you can run your own local model for significantly cheaper.

Qwen27b is not SOTA but the value is insane. You can basically use it for small tasks and then route harder problems to opus or sonnet and boom you’ve said a lot of money.

Which is long overdue.

What did he do?

Wealthy white dude edging towards senility taking a liking to bathrobe social media shorts. Take a guess. It's going to involve a political party and a lot of weird public takes unrelated to software.

Five minutes is pushing it, but 15 minutes? Absolutely.
