I don't think I would notice a 100% improvement in software productivity in most companies, from the outside. Most of the time, that would just translate to the company being able to hire fewer developers, and having slightly higher profit margins – but not enormously higher, because developers are only one part.

I recently used Claude Code to develop & merge an optimization that will save about $4,000 a month. It was relatively simple but tedious, so I probably wouldn't have done it on my own. I don't even expect most of my coworkers to notice.
