For me, the measurable gain in productiviy comes when I am working with a new language or new technology. If I were to use claude code to help implement a feature of a python library I've worked on for years then I don't think it would help much (Maybe even hurt). However, if I use claude code on some go code I have very little experience with, or using it to write/modify helm charts then I can definitely say it speeds me up.

But, taking a broader view its possible that these initial speed ups are negated by the fact that I never really learn go or helm charts as deeply now that I use claude code. Over time, its possible that my net productiviy is still reduced. Hard to say for sure, especially considering I might not have even considered talking these more difficult go library modifications if I didn't have claude code to hold my hand.

Regardless, these tools are out there, increasing in effectiveness and I do feel like I need to jump on the train before it leaves me at the station.

agreed - it helps transpose skills.

That said, this comes up often in my office. It's just not giving really good advice in many situations - especially novel ones.
