Why am I not surprised that a blog was written about LLM coding going from 20% to 80% useful, yet all of the HN comments are still nit picking about some negative details rather than building positive ideas toward some progress...

Is the programmer ego really this fragile? At least luddites had an ideological reasoning, whereas here we just seem to have emotional reflexes.

It's because we see a bunch of people completely ignoring the missing 20% and flooding the world with complete slop. The push back is required to keep us sane, we need people reminding others that it's not at 100% yet even if it sometimes feels like it.

Then you have Anthropic that states on his own blog that engineers fully delegate to claude code only from 0 to 20% https://www.anthropic.com/research/how-ai-is-transforming-wo...

The fact that people keep pushing figures like 80% is total bs to me

This kind of thought policing is getting to be exhausting. Perhaps we need a different kind of push back.

Do you know what my use case is? Do you know what kind of success rate I would actually achieve right now? Please show me where my missing 20% resides.
