> How are you measuring this?
I attempt a programming task with and without LLM assistance. The attempt with LLM assistance is pretty much always completed faster and cleaner.
Another example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43991777
How much faster? How much cleaner? What tasks are you accomplishing?
I linked to an example in the comment. In that particular case, I'd say probably 10-20x faster. I do embedded, backend, web and mobile app development.
I also notice these things. Otoh i spend definitely less than 50% of my time typing in code so it is impossible that it gives more than 2x speedup. And sometimes i lose time babysitting and rewriting stuff so all in all it is kinda no productivity gain.
Can someone bring this man a cup of Kool-Aid, stat?
