Dev: arbiter system wrote 85% of my code since Gemini 2.5 Pro — now it's down to 5%

Developer Sauers updates his coding workflow numbers: since Gemini 2.5 Pro (and now GPT-5), about 85% of his code was written via the "arbiter system" he described earlier. That share has now fallen to 5%, and he says the approach is no longer necessary — implying newer models can handle the work directly without the arbitration layer.
