Everyone is talking about writing code 10x faster with AI. Very few are showing the products they shipped 10x faster.

Whenever someone claims a tool will replace coding, we eventually bank it as infrastructure and stick Python on top to control it. It’s simply better than clicking buttons.

i used to write flight software - you know, the one that flies jets and spacecrafts.. and if I had claude/codex back in the day, i wouldnt even need to look at code. hear me out, people say AI slop this, AI slop that, and the code it generated is trash etc etc. the thing is, with a highly tightened coding standard, and a requirement traceability down to say ~30-50 lines of code per requirement, you almost no longer need to look at the code it produced before doing testing. 2022 - oh wow, AI can write some code in the chat app 2023-2024 - cursor is amazing - it can write some code and understands the context 2025- the code is getting better and better, but often with mistakes 2026 - given the right guideline and specs, it is an EXPECTATION that the code should work the first or second round. I foresee in the near future, we would have IDE that no longer prioritizes displaying code. instead the IDE would be a tool to orchestrate agents, with responses gathering and display, so like an agent command center. I already see people building some of this but i think people are thinking about it wrong - don't take IDE or terminal as a baseline, we need to completely revamp it. This excites me because for once, we are going to revolutionize how coding is done. wait.. its not coding anymore, its more general than that, but you get the point! the subagent framework today is largely inadequate - we need a layer of LLMs on top of analyzing agents and then allow humans to control. but not all subagents should report back to the same upper LLM. whos building this? I will invest.

Just learned that they named this and have a science around it. Attentional Gate Mode. Our body works faster and our perception of time slows when we focus on things and our body slows down and our sense of time speeds up when idle.

It’s funny how preparing a UI update off-screen makes an app feel like a rocket, even if it’s technically slower according to the wall clock. Switching to a finished state feels instant; watching the UI mutate step-by-step feels slow.
