Yes, if your definition of active is that you had to make a decision, yes. Pretty much everything we do is active. In the same way that sleeping is exercise because your muscles move.

The reality is that companies at an early stage don't have validation of their idea yet. That is priority #1. The scaling part comes only after you know your idea has merit. It's also "the easy part". With the right allo

Your only metric of "good" code generation is # of bugs. My assertion was that this is not accurate. I also disagree with the premise that code generation by AI will be very useful for programmers, for the reasons stated above.
