What happened
The author created a benchmark by having AI agents build a small Pokémon app with various JavaScript frameworks and then measured development time, token usage, lines of code, and Lighthouse performance and accessibility scores. The benchmark was designed to provide evidence for claims about framework speed and developer experience that are often made without data.
