I love the speed-up. And I'm sure it factors into CEO and CIO decisions. But they're on their way to learning, once again, that "code faster" never had anything to do with success or failure in efforts that require programmers.
Source: I sought great power, and I became one of the fastest coders, but it didn't make my problems or my boss's problems go away.
