OK, great. All I'm saying is until we really have videos (or equivalent empirical analysis) of these use cases, it's hard to assess these claims.
Jobs comprise different tasks, some more amenable to LLMs than others. My view is that where scepticism exists amongst professional senior engineers, its probably well-founded and grounded in the kinds of tasks that they are engaged with.
I'd imagine everyone in the debate is using LLMs to some degree; and that it's mostly about what productivity factor we imagine exists.
Developers who are productive with these tools are not going to waste time on that.
They are busy doing their work and prefer their competitors (other developers) to not use these tools.
The article you’re replying to is just one of many examples of people who profess to be productive with these tools, but are spending significant time and energy attempting to convince skeptics to use them.
For this article he took the time explain how it makes him more productive. What more do you expect? Why are you entitled to any more than that?
