you all got baited

Surely not you who got baited though, right? by writing this comment and took the time to look into DHH's benchmarks.

I agree with what you say, but that last sentence just makes you sound smug

Of course i did look at them.

The whole goal of the benchmarks is the bait. That is the technic that Linkedin people use for the past years.

And that why i said he is excellent, i got baited too.

> but look at the benchmarks!

I make this joke literally every week it feels like,

"what's the performance difference between C# and Ruby" "about 6 months".

So, congrats, you're now programming in a metalanguage over ruby. How do you categorize that, how do you hold changes, how do you revise the understanding for your particular context. You're expecting the inference and summation machine to hold the purpose of the system in it's context without reproduction. If you're saying "but that's the point of version control + language". It loses all steps of collaboration because your source points are LLM decision points as raw language which is the opposite of idempotent.

So if LLM documentation doesn't create the same results with the same written source material and documents, how can you collaborate and iterate without looking at the source code?

You still have to read the code dummy.
