I feel like some of the data in this is horrendously out of date. They're referencing articles from the end of 2024.

There was a massive step-change in the capability of these models towards the end of 2025.

There is just no way that an experienced developer should be slower using the current tools. Doesn't match my experience at all.

The title of the article, though - absolutely true IMO
