arpit_bhayani applies Amdahl's law to AI coding gains

arpit_bhayani argued that faster coding produces limited gains in overall delivery when other stages remain unchanged. In an explicitly illustrative example, the account said making coding 10x faster when it represents 30% of delivery time yields about a 1.37x overall speedup.

arpit_bhayani identified planning, team alignment, reviews, delivery pipelines and debugging as work that remains after code generation accelerates. The account recommended measuring the full path to production and applying AI where work waits, including review, test generation and deployment checks.
