Well it may be false that you always want the best model, but the point is performance of you+<agent> is far more cost effective than you+someone else

Maybe, but that's a different claim than the one I was responding to. And also raises the question of "if the lower quality but cheaper output of frontier models is more cost effective than humans, is the even lower quality but even cheaper output of OSS models is more cost effective still?" With an absolute rule like GP suggested ("no, you always want the best code generator") the answer is clear, but it get much murkier if you reject such rules (as you have to to be an LLM coding proponent)
I think that’s a fair and good q and point.
