Nice, my experience writing production code in large codebase here, granted it's evolved a lot since: https://philippcannons.com/100x-ai-coding-for-real-work-summ...

Not surprisingly, building really fast is not the silver bullet you'd think it is. It's all about what to build and how to distribute it. Otherwise bigcos/billionaires would have armies of engineers growing their net worth to epic scales.

Regarding billionaires having armies of engineers growing their wealth to massive scale: is that not what they have?

My current world view: for monster multiples you need someone who knows how to go 0 to 1, repeatedly. That's almost always only the founder. People after are incremental. If they weren't, they'd just be a founder. Hence why everything is done through acquisitions post-founder. So there's armies of engineers incrementally scaling and maintaining dollars. But not creating that wealth or growing it in a significant % way.
