Ask someone who builds software for a fee. Are you able to do 90% more? Fire 9/10 engineers? Produce 90% faster?

No, no, and no.

It's even worse. If the cost drops by 90%, the corresponding productivity increase should be 900%, not 90%.

90% more - nope. 35-55% more, just about on average. I am 30-year in though, not sure what these numbers are for junior devs

They thought they were faster too.

Yes, I know, AGI is just around the corner, we just need to wait more because "agents" are improving every day.

In the mean time, LLMs are kinda useful instead of web searches, mostly because search is both full of spam and the search providers are toxic.
