Tell HN: I write and ship code ~20–50x faster than I did 5 years ago

>>EGreg+(OP)
Out of interest, how did you arrive at the 20-50x speedup numbers?

>>voidUp+gPj
Cherrypicking the most tedious parts, like boilerplate to get up and running, or porting code to other adapters (making mysqlite and postgres adapters for instance)

This was done in about 3 hours for instance: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/tree/refactor/DbQuery/platf...

You can see the speed for yourself. Here is my first speedrun livestreamed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6UFyIPYNY

Why not merged to main? What is the definition of done being applied here?

>>jonono+rul
The code is stable and partially tested. Needs a lot more testing before committing it to main. This is mainly because the primary ORM adapter for MySQL has been rewritten, and a lot of apps use it.

I think in 2026 the automation will reach the testing, closing the loop. At that point, no humans in the loop will make software development extremely fast.
