But what does being faster really get you? Who are you racing against?
Also it's not actually faster. It writes the code faster but all of the other processes still take the same time. Writing code is only a small part of a software engineers job. If the code gets done faster they still need to document it, get it approved, add alerting, test it and fix any bugs. Those parts still take the same amount of time so you are only really going marginally faster at best assuming the code has no issue that need to be fixed.
Also since the code part is done so fast those other tasks start to pile up and become a bottle neck.
They are selling this like it's a full fledged engineer for $200 a month but that's not what it is at all.
