Getting a 53% performance boost on a 20+ year old codebase by running a bunch of experiments is pretty exciting to me: https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/pull/2056

Developers make these kinds of improvements all the time. Are you saying that it would have been impossible without AI?

		That codebase existed for 20 years and had contributions from nearly 200 people. Sure, they could have come up with those optimizations without AI... but they didn't. What's your theory for why that is?
