<p>Migration projects probably won't be the best fit here<p>An existing project has a well defined code base, test cases etc<p>If llms aren't able to migrate a good project then they wouldn't be of any use for general purpose programming</p>

<p>Interesting. So do they not work on the things were land acquisition is solved?<p>I see at least 4 stations daily where there has been literally 0 progress in the past few months.<p>They could finish rest of the job right? Until land issue is resolved (which don't revokve around that land like stairs etc)</p>

<p>Some metros are PPP
Some are by contractors<p>However, all are perpetually delayed<p>Pune metro line 3's construction status was 85+% for over 1yr now<p>Land acquisition was over a long time ago. Progress on road is just invisible despite being built by a private company which will operate it for the next 30yrs</p>

<p>In India metro is either built by private companies in a Public Private Partnership<p>Or by govt orgs by contracting it out.<p>Both styles have resulted in massive delays so much so that it has become a meme that metro will be inaugurated 100yrs into the future<p>Maybe if Govt hired actual engineers like they do for railways then metros will be prioritised</p>

<p>It absolutely does. Our productivity is compared with our peers<p>If others are delivering 15 apps per week and if we choose to not use AI at all, then our performance is down</p>

<p>See the metric right now is how much AI is used and what are the deliverables<p>While I agree that their apps will be bad as they're purely vibe coded. But metrics are metrics aren't they?</p>

<p>Tough to do this when the rest of the company is using LLMs to generate 3x the number of apps and then your performance goes down because you're not delivering as quickly as others</p>

<p>At the off chance that you'll see and reply to my message, I have a question<p>I saw a tweet by someone many years ago before I knew Homebrew was a thing. The tweet basically said "Google rejected me for not being able to invert a binary tree when 80% of Google engg use Homebrew"<p>Was that true?</p>
