The article discusses how large language models (LLMs) are making it easier to optimize software performance. The author describes an experiment where they used an LLM to improve the performance of a regex engine, FRE, by having an agent loop for a month to optimize its performance. The resulting engine showed a 2x-4x performance improvement for simple queries and a 7% speedup for more complex queries.
The author suggests that LLMs have lowered the barrier to entry for building complex software, such as JIT compilers and custom databases, and that it's now possible to do technical work that previously required a lot of time and expertise in a matter of minutes.
