I have linked my github above. I don't know how that fares in the bigger scope of things, but I went from 0 opensource to hundreds of tools and frameworks and libraries. Putting a number on "productivity" makes no sense to me, I would have no idea what that means.

I generate between 10-100k lines of code per day these days. But is that a measure of productivity? Not really...

>I generate between 10-100k lines of code per day these days.

That’s absolute nonsense.

He said "generate". This is trivial to do. And probably this is what Amodei meant when he said 90% of code would be AI by now. It doesn't meant that generated code is actually useful and gets checked in.

Who’s reviewing 10-100k lines of code per day? This sounds like a slop nightmare

I only review what needs to be reviewed, I don’t need to fully review every prototype, shell script, dev tool etc… only what is in the critical path.

But if llms show us one thing, it’s how bad our code review tools are. I have a set of tree sitter helpers that allow me to examine different parts of a PR more easily (one that allows me to diff semantic parts of the code, instead of “files” and “lines”, one that gives me stats on what subsystems are touched and crosscorrelation of different subsystems, one for attaching metadata and which documents are related to a commit, one for managing our design documents, llm-coding intermediary documents, long lasting documents, etc… the proper version of these are for work but here’s the initial yolo from Manus: https://github.com/go-go-golems/vibes/tree/main/2025-08-22/p... https://github.com/go-go-golems/vibes/tree/main/2025-08-22/c... https://github.com/go-go-golems/vibes/tree/main/2025-08-15/d... https://github.com/go-go-golems/vibes/tree/main/2025-07-29/p...).

I very often put some random idea into the llm slot machine that is manus, and use the result as a starting point to remold it into a proper tool, and extracting the relevant pieces as reusable packages. I’ve got a pretty wide treesitter/lsp/git based set of packages to manage llm output and assist with better code reviews.

Also, every llm PR comes with _extensive_ documentation / design documents / changelogs, by the nature of how these things work, which helps both humans and llm-asssisted code review tools.
