I so wish just one of these posts with these insane ~20-50x claims would include a narrated video of someone using it, or show us a repository with the code, or anything tangible.

I get 10-20x done but that’s because most of what I need to get done isn’t particularly difficult.

E.g. I have an aws agent that does all my devops for me. It isn’t doing anything insane but when I need to investigate something or make a terraform change, I send it off and go do something else. I do similar things 20-100 times a day now. Go write this script, do this report, update this documentation, etc.

I think if you are a high level swe it takes a lot of effort to get “better than doing it myself”. If you have a more generalist role, AI is easily a 10x productivity booster if you are knowledgeable about using it.
