I also wonder what type of simple CRUD apps people build that have such a performance gain? They must be building well understood projects or be incredible slow developers for LLMs to have such an impact, as I cant relate to this at all.
But I certainly wouldn’t assume that other people’s jobs are simple or boring just because they don’t look like yours.
Which is absolutely no shame. But people shouldn't expect these gains for their job if they work in less understood environments.
Most non CRUD AI code implementations are flawed/horrendous.
But for the rest of us, who have a mix of common/boring and uncommon/interesting tasks, accelerating the common ones means spending more time (proportionally) on less common tasks.
Unfortunately we don’t seem to great at classifying tasks as common or uncommon, and there are bored engineers who make complex solutions just to keep their brain occupied.
