I’m not following. It seems straightforward enough, and consistent with both charts, that a dramatic speedup in coding yields a more modest improvement in overall productivity because typing code is a minority of the work. Is your contention here that the LLM not only documents, but accelerates the thinking part too?




It does, for sure, and I said that in my comment, but no, the point I'm making is that this article isn't premised on thinking being an order of magnitude more work than coding. See: first chart in article.
