But the benefit might not be speed, it might be economy of attention.
I can code with Claude when my mind isn't fresh. That adds several hours of time I can schedule, where previously I had to do fiddly things when I was fresh.
What I can attest is that I used to have a backlog of things I wanted to fix, but hadn't gotten around to. That's now gone, and it vanished a lot faster than the half a year I had thought it would take.
Doesn't that mean you're less likely to catch bugs and other issues that the AI spits out?
No, you are spending less time on fixing little things, so you have more time on things like making sure all the potential errors are checked.
Not a problem! Just ask the AI to verify its output and make test cases!
nah, you rely on your coworkers to review your slop!

Code you never ship doesn't have bugs by definition, but never shipping is usually a worse state to be in.
I'm sure people from Knight Capital don't think so.
