Even taking the “we’re all 100x more efficient at writing code” argument at face value… there’s still all of the product/market fit, marketing, sales, etc “schlep” which is very much non-trivial.

Are there any agentic sales and marketing offerings?

Because being able to reliably hand off that part of the value chain to an agent would close a real gap. (Not sure this can be done in reality)

I once had a manager that was fond of saying:

> Experience is what you get when you don’t have any.

The only better experience than working on a legacy codebase is working on a greenfield project long enough to watch it become legacy and see the good and bad consequences of past decisions.

Would you mind explaining to a dev that doesn’t know much (anything) about Rust, how does this settle any debate?

Not a bad thing at all… but this is the same mental model provided by the so-called atom-based state management systems in React. I believe Jotai is the most popular.

I suspect parent was referring more to the runtime characteristics of latency, error handling, retries, load balancing, etc… more than the syntax.

Nonetheless, what you built sounds quite interesting: can you say anything more about the language, tech stack, etc…?
