   Our readingPerformance work used to mean half a day reading traces before writing a single fix, and language models have collapsed that step to minutes.

   Their wordsI remember anytime I would work with a big site on their performance problems, uh you could easily spend half a day, um you know, just looking at traces before you've even written any fixes at all. And now that we have LLMs, it's very quick to like reason through massive stack traces and actually be able to get down to fixes you can make.
