It's fascinating how over the past year we have had almost daily posts like this one, yet from the outside everything looks exactly the same, isn't that very weird?

Why haven't we seen an explosion of new start-ups, products or features? Why do we still see hundreds of bug tickets on every issue tracking page? Have you noticed anything different on any changelog?

I invite tptacek, or any other chatbot enthusiast around, to publish project metrics and show some actual numbers.

This is an important question. The skepticism tracks with my personal experience - I feel 10-20% more productive but certainly not 5x when measured over a long period of time (say, the last 6 months or more)

I’m nonetheless willing to be patient and see how it plays out. If I’m skeptical about some grandiose claims I must also be equally skeptical and accepting about the possibility of large scale effects happening but not being apparent to me yet.

There were many similar transformations in recent decades. I remember first Windows with true Graphics User Interface was big WOW: productivity boost, you can have all those windows and programs running at the same time! Compare it with DOS where you normally had just one active user-facing process.
