The report was not paywalled for me. It just required a work email. Which is totally fair from my perspective. Faros is providing a ton of value with the report. People do deserve to get paid - even if in collected emails.

You're right my analysis is at variance to what Faros.ai says. I think they interpret their data trying to rescue utility for the dominant patterns of LLM use.

But I think to anyone who is experienced with process improvement or queuing theory, their interpretation is clearly weak. Rework is a huge problem in queue systems, and they mostly just elide the throughput impact of an 860% increase in code churn coupled to a massive spike in bugs.

Obviously draw your own conclusions. But I don't think because I disagree with the interpretation of the people who originated the data makes me wrong.
