I would assume honesty, so someone showing with a blog post their incremental progress, prompting or code assistant use, rough time spent on each iteration... would be a great start.

I am not looking for formal study level of trust (though even that is frequently debatable), but multiple accounts of this where there is clear quality of output and significant (estimated) time savings would be wonderful.

I don't need much convincing that for many engineers, an LLM can bring incremental speed up (10-20%), though I think that really depends on the personality (eg. do you prefer to fix stuff not created by you or write it nicely from the start?).
