I mean from a time perspective, your mileage may vary.
So me finishing a carded up block of work that is expected to take 2 weeks (80 hours) and I get it done in 1 day (8 hours) then that would be a 10x boost.
There are always tar pits of time where you are no better off with AI, but sometimes it's 20x.
I've setup development teams in the past, and have have been coding since the late 70's, so I am sort of aware of my capabilities.
It super depends on the type of work you're doing.
This is satire, right? You're 60ish years old, and hyper optimistic about AI, it's making you tens of times more productive, paste code from one AI to another, one is the dev and the other is the architect...
I mean, it's literally unbelievable.
It is

This is absurd measuring. You can’t in good faith claim a 20x improvement if it only happens “sometimes” and other times it’s a time sink.
The more detail you keep providing in this thread, the clearer it becomes your assessment lands somewhere between the disingenuous and the delusional.
How do you measure 20x when someone says they do that?
Does that mean you deliver the same amount of code in the same time with 20x less bugs?
Or the same quality code in 20x less time?
Or 10x less bugs in 2x less time?
An honest measurement tries to consider the aggregate, not one single point.
If you had a hammer which could drive a nail through a plank 20x faster but took 60x longer to prepare before each strike, claiming 20x gains would be disingenuous.
