The result you described is coming soon. CheepCode[0] agents already produce working code in a satisfying percentage of cases, and I am at most 3 months away from it producing end-to-end apps and complex changes that are at least human-quality. It would take way less if I got funded to work on it full time.

Given that I'm this close as a solo founder with no employees, you can imagine what's cooking inside large companies.

"At most 3 months away"

This is a strong claim. I'm not aware of any AI model or system that can consistently and correctly make complex changes in existing codebases. What makes you so confident that you can achieve this, alone, in the next 3 months?

The circumference of a circle is easily calculated as piradius2, so calculating the same length of an ellipse would not be much more difficult. Hehe.
