They didn't write 100k plan lines. The llm did (99.9% of it at least or more). Writing 30k by hand would take weeks if not months. Llms do it in an afternoon.

Just reading that plan would take weeks or months

		You don't start with 100k lines, you work in batches that are digestible. You read it once, then move on. The lines add up pretty quickly considering how fast Claude works. If you think about the difference in how many characters it takes to describe what code is doing in English, it's pretty reasonable.

And my weeks or months of work beats an LLMs 10/10 times. There are no shortcuts in life.

		Might be true for you. But there are plenty of top tier engineers who love LLMs. So it works for some. Not for others. And of course there are shortcuts in life. Any form of progress whether its cars, medicine, computers or the internet are all shortcuts in life. It makes life easier for a lot of people.
