> the dimensionality of LLM output that is economically relevant keeps growing linearly for coding
Doubt. Yes. there was at one point it suddenly became useful to write code in a general sense. I have seen almost no improvement in department of architecting, operations and gaslighting. In fact gaslighting has gotten worse. Entire output based on wrong assumption that it hid, almost intentionally. And I had to create very dedicated, non-agentic tools to combat this.
And all of this with latest Opus line.
Also doubt. But most likely because of organizational inertia. After a while, you’re mostly focused on small problems and big features are rare. You solution is quasi done. But now each new change is harder because you don’t want to broke assumptions that have become hard requirements.
