YC seems big on quantitative metrics. Is there anything that says he is more efficient than 3 or 4 years ago. Is YC as a whole?

This is a difficult question to answer ! I would ask a related question which is equally hard. Has AI-use increased your human cognitive capability or decreased it ?

Decreased it. I no longer carry the entire code base in my head. Used to be someone could describe issue to me & I could know exact line where bug was. Sometimes laying in bed I'd realize some line was wrong

I accept this loss because the productivity is there. & hope to retire in a few years if things don't go south. For people entering the field I worry

Is it? For 200k, he has to have the output of 2 humans, otherwise it would also work to "buy" a human for 200k/year.

That's where I struggle - when I would spend 200k/year on AI, i expect me to deliver at least 1 human output more than before.

He will say he is and that will be the end of it.
