> write 20kloc of Rust code every day (and I review all of it)

Only one of this can be true. It's not a shame to say you don't bother reviewing it, in the future that may well be the norm.

So you now have 400Kloc of Rust code? Doing what? How much of that is "new"?

I can't get Augment / Opus 4.5 to edit a few C++ files from within VSCode without going off on a wild goose chase or getting stuck in an infinite loop after I tell that it should be doing this: "oh, you're right, I need to do X", "To do X, I must understand how to do Y", "I see now that to do Y, I should look at at Z". "Let me look at Z", followed by: "oh, you're right, I need to do X"..

To be fair, humans editing C++ also go on wild goose chases. Have you seen the insanity the C++ committee has ratified?

Reviewing 1k lines of code an hour is a breakneck pace, are you spending 20 hours a day reviewing code?

It’s clearly code so flawless you can tell at a glance that it’s correct.

To do what, exactly, and are people paying you for your output or are you just making things for yourself?

Building things at a mature company with a market is a lot different than hacking together your own tools. There are a lot more people you can let down at scale.

What does all this code do? What software are you writing?

"All of it"

Best comment of the day. In three words no less...

That’s the same definition of reviewing code as saying watching the movie is the same as reading the book it’s based on. No human has ever reviewed 600k lines of code in a month, ever. It’s hard to find someone who can even read and understand that amount in that time.

I’m convinced these “guys you gotta believe me I’m a seasoned veteran and this shit is the real deal” posts that show up in every AI thread are either coming from Sam Altman or a bot.

Just try it.

I have. It's great. Not 20 kloc/day great, though, and nobody believes that you are giving >1 kloc/hour anything more than the most casual glance.

I had to hack my scrollbar speed to 500% to get through all the code reviews in a day

I think you've crossed the line from being an AI maxi to just rage baiting. This comment is a pointless anecdote at best, please take your ridiculous FOMO takes elsewhere.
