I’m going back to being a holdout, but it’s nuanced - My theory into why LLMs don’t lead to the colloquial definition of productivity would be something like - if code was never the bottleneck than generating code faster doesn’t result in more meaningful output.
Even if you take for granted that AI is as good as the best people say in writing code. And Ive spent a lot of time generating codes, I won’t disagree - Then the question becomes - does this change your daily incentives such that you reach for code as the solution to your problems rather than something else (coordinating with your colleagues? Product management? Planning and Design?
So from a holistic perspective, I think intentionally limiting your own AI usage is the best approach for maximum long-term productivity.
