I'd say closer to 6 months for me but probably still some room to improve.

I think getting a decent setup with a fast feedback loop for the agent combined with context (in repo markdown)+memories goes a long way.

After having Claude Code "remember" my preferences and tools, it's more efficient.

It has a tendency to copy existing patterns so a good AGENTS.md with best practices and architectural goals goes a long way to prevent it from duplicating patterns you're trying to get rid of.
