I hit the AI coding speed limit
I've mastered AI coding and I love it. My productivity has increased x3. It's two steps forward, one step back but still much faster to generate code than to write it by hand. I don't miss those days. My weapon of choice is Aider with Sonnet (I'm a terminal lover).
However, lately I've felt that I've hit the speed limit and can't go any faster even if I want to. Because it all boils down to this equation:
LLM inference speed + LLM accuracy + my typing speed + my reading speed + my prompt fu
It's nice having a personal coding assistant but it's just one. So you are currently limited to pair programming sessions. And I feel like tools like Devon and Lovable are mostly for MBA coders and don't offer the same level of control. (However, it's just a feeling I have. Haven't tried them).
Anyone else feel the same way? Anyone managed to solve this?
