Two years ago: nice toy.
18 months ago: it can do some things but it’s generally not useful.
12 months ago: wow; this can write ok code that a human has to do a lot of review to make sure it’s ok.
6 months ago: holy fuck I’m shipping great stuff with only the occasional redo.
3 months ago: Jesus Christ this is actually pretty fucking great. I have to work entirely differently; becoming a manager of my single agent launching sub agents.
1 month ago: my god I am shipping more, faster, and more useful than ever.
Today: we have fleets of highly effectively domain expert agents working entirely autonomously and shifting between fleets depending on domain, available usage remaining, and we’re shipping 10x with 100% better reviews than before—expanding by the day and self-improving its own harness.

Next week: the agents will prioritize code golf.
The week after that: everything is written in ASM.
We’ll come full circle in 3y
e: fyi; this is my personal progression with LLMs.
