  2. Ask HN: Which model is best for pair-programming?

  8. Why does it look like LLMs consistently overestimate implementation time?

    I have my suspicion: they estimate how long people would have taken to implement some feature, becasue they were trained on such data. I consistently see estimates of 2 week/3 weeks or 5 days, etc. But then…
