> In 1 minute it comprehends a complex niche code base and points out subtle errors with very little noise. A senior engineer we would have taken months to do less.

They of course operate faster than humans, but this is hyperbole. Unless your senior engineer sucks.



You’re right, 1 minute is hyperbole - it may have taken a full 5-10 minutes.

The very best people I’ve ever worked with would have taken at least week to find and prove even 1 or 2 of the lowest hanging findings.

It would still take a few months for them to really digest everything and come up with substantial ideas for improvement.


I don’t know, it has taken me months to onboard onto any codebase I’ve ever worked on.
