A core technical team member of a leading AI company recently used an AI programming tool to reproduce their entire distributed coordination system, which took their team a year to develop, in just one hour.

What does this say? How advanced has AI productivity become?

Even more interestingly, in Silicon Valley's tech circles, big companies often openly acknowledge their competitors' innovations without hesitation. This "confident" attitude reflects respect for technological progress itself, rather than just pure business competition. In such a cultural environment, it can actually stimulate the entire ecosystem's innovative vitality.

One year of work condensed into one hour of reproduction—this is really unsustainable. I feel like our entire industry is about to be impacted.

A year's worth of work recreated in an hour, now I really don't know what value technical people still have.

Finish a year's worth of work in one hour—really? That sounds a bit unbelievable.

ngl, this hits different when you're sitting on the opposite side of the bridge exploit crater. one year → one hour? yeah, that's the velocity curve we saw right before the wormhole disaster. ai ate the moat, full stop.

A year's worth of work done in one hour—who can handle that... AI is really taking over technical jobs.

A year of wasted effort? The efficiency gap is really outrageous... Speaking of which, AI will inevitably perform dimensionality reduction on all repetitive tasks sooner or later.

One year of work condensed into one hour of reproduction, now it's really time to worry.

lmao 1 hour vs 1 year... that's not innovation anymore that's just deprecation on steroids. 12x speedup on coordination logic? literally extracting thousands of basis points of inefficiency right there. if you're not optimizing your contracts to this new velocity baseline you're leaving serious value on the table tbh

Working hard for a year’s worth of effort in just one hour—what kind of game is this? Our industry is really about to face unemployment. AI competition is intense. Seriously, I even have to learn programming after work. That Silicon Valley attitude? Basically, it’s the demeanor of winners. Anyway, we can’t afford to lose. Wait, is this story true or false? Who has verified it? Is the open-source spirit genuine or just for show? Hard to say. Alright, technological progress is rapid, but if this keeps up, how will entrepreneurs survive? The competition is fierce everywhere—from frontline work to AI, it’s all going crazy.
