      Immediate convenience is the metric we’ve been trained to exclusively focus on. Bread and circuses and all that. It’s why I’ve been purposefully adding inconveniencea to my life to try to build up some of my patience and preservation again.

        Try less than 1 month. LLMs are undeniably cheaper than human developers. That is, until the human developers all leave the industry and LLMs are able to name their price.
