This is what keeps getting me. People here keep posting benchmarks, bragging about 5x, 10x, 20x. None of the companies we work with are putting anything faster.
The evangelist response is to call it a skill issue, but looking around it seems like no one anywhere is actually pushing out new products meaningfully faster.
I think it shows the barrier to building software quickly was never about how fast you can write the code.
Maybe at a startup it is, but for any established company I find most of the friction is systemic management issues.
Well, considering there are coders who type under 30 WPM and are senior level programmers I would have thought people realized that years ago.
Oh well
