Can you actually provide any proof, even top-line stats from GitHub or other software forges that show the productivity boost you’re claiming?

It’s not up to the skeptics to prove this tech doesn’t work, it’s up to the proponents to show it does and does so with a similar effect size as cigarettes cause lung cancer.

There are a tremendous amount of LLM productivity stans on HN but the plural of anecdote is not data.

Certainly these tools are useful, but the extent to which they are useful today is not nearly as open and shut as you and others would claim. I’d say that these tools make me 5% more productive on a code base I know well.

I’m totally open to opposing evidence that isn’t just anecdote

I think it’s pretty obvious that is the OP automates this manual part of their workflow that it will improve their iteration speed. The thread root is just saying stop copy and pasting and use the built in tooling to communicate with the LLM apis

They aren’t responding to thread roots extended comment, just the first part about the tone and rhetoric of AI proponents. Your comment isnt really a response to anything in their comment.
