I do feel with the rise of "reasoning" class of models, it's not hard to believe that code quality will improve over time.



The thing is: how much

0.2x, 2x, 5x, 50x?


It all comes down to a religious faith in AGI or not.

There can't be things that a human can program that AGI can not program or it is not "AGI".

While I am never a true believer in AGI, it seems to go I get a little faith when a new model comes out then I become increasingly agnostic the weeks and months after that. Repeat.


Who knows? It just needs to be better than the average engineer.


The thing is that this "just" may not happen soon


It needs to be better than the average engineer whose abilities are themselves augmented by AI.


It just needs to be cheaper than the average engineer, you mean.


Doesn't sound like improving dramically.
