Developer facontidavide joked about the new rhythm of AI-assisted coding: by day he asks colleagues to review a 200-line PR, by night AI has generated 18,000 lines in the last 4 hours. He compares himself to Neo at the start of The Matrix.
The quip captures a real tension in AI coding workflows: human review bandwidth is unchanged while machine output scales exponentially — the gap is the state of modern engineering.
