This is actually true at my company. They expect employees to be 10× more productive now that we have AI.

I’ve had people tell me, with a completely straight face, that they expected 10-100x productivity improvements. This is at the executive and VC level. The mania is extreme.

    A great alternative future to look forward to - 1 employee expected to do the work of 10-100. Those others fired to save money.

  • I for sure do plenty of things with AI a lot faster.

    Instead of searching some linux issue, i will prompt claude to generate a small analyser script for checking wha tlinux i have, i will tell it what hardware i have and it fixed my issue in like 5 minutes? That would have been a lot longer before.

You can be 10x more productive if you don’t verify anything the LLM generates and just YOLO it into your codebase. I wouldn’t recommend it.
