And having said that, I just got two perfectly-decent Quamina PRs that were minor optimizations suggested by Claude.

Guy who sent them said he’d to tossed out a couple other really idiotic ones, and there’s a lesson in that.

I don’t think an OSS tool benchmark jumping from ~2.6M to ~2.8M matches/second justifies the AI bubble valuations though…

Insanity a present risk but not inevitable I guess.
