The slow part of software is NOT the initial generation of software. It's the maintenance and review of it.

If your management is pushing for 10x programmer output, hell even 40% more programmer output, what they're asking for is a stability crisis. There's no way around it. That's how it is right now.

@cwebber i have repeatedly thought that, prior to LLMs, no one was bemoaning that there *wasn’t enough* software.

i suppose wanting features to be developed more quickly is a form of that but it seems like the gripes were much more about quality rather than quantity.
