Companies that do not reduce their workforce might outcompete you.

It might not be about bringing more revenues but retaining market share.

I like Scaleway a lot too.

Interestingly, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is more Cyberpunk than anything Tesla is making!

Same experience here.

On some tasks like build scripts, infra and CI stuff, I am getting a significant speedup. Maybe I am 2x faster on these tasks, when measured from start to PR.

I am working on a HPC project[1] that requires more careful architectural thinking. Trying to let the LLM do the whole task most often fail, or produce low quality code (even with top models like Opus 4.5).

What works well though is "assisted" coding. I am usually writing the interface code (e.g. headers in C++) with some help from the agent, and then let the LLM do the actual implementation of these functions/methods. Then I do final adjustments. Writing a good AGENTS.md helps a lot. I might be 30% faster on these tasks.

It seems to match what I see from the PRs I am reviewing: we are getting these slightly more often than before.

Could you try with some open-weighted models, e.g. Qwen3-coder, GLM-4.7 or Devstral-2?
