      LLM-assisted entry-level developers merely need to be half as good as expert human unassisted developers

      1. This isn’t even close to existing.
      2. The theoretical cyborg-developer at that skill level would surely be introducing horrible security bugs or brittle features that don’t stand up to change
      3. Sadly i think this is exactly what many CEOs are thinking is going to happen because they’ve been sold on openai and anthropic lies that it’s just around the corner

      This is a very “nine women can make a baby in one month”.

      The idea that there can even be two half as good developers is a misunderstanding of how anything works. If it worked like that, the study would be a dud because people could just run two AIs for 160% productivity.
