Amen to that. I was surprised to see yours seems to be the only comment with this sentiment. This post was kind of depressing to read. Like if AI is so amazing and can one-shot so much astounding stuff, why is anyone wasting their time on pointless "projects" like making ripgrep faster?
Because it can cut their total time by double digit percentages?
Both your comments there seem to latch on to a detail and miss the context totally. Ambition scales with the number of "small" things you can get done too.
