I'm like you. I'd say my productivity improved by 5-10%: Claude can make surprinsgly good code edits. For these, my subjective feeling is that claude does in 30 min what I'd have dont in one hour. It's a net gain. Now, my job is about communicating, understanding problems, learning, etc. So my overall productivity is not dramatically changing, but for things related to code, it's a net 5-10%


Which is where the AI investment disconnect is scary.

AI Companies have invested a crazy amount of money into a small productivity gain for their customers.

If AI was replacing developers it wouldn’t cost me $20-100/month to get a subscription.


If I had something that could replace developers I will not sell it.

I will get all the goverment IT contracts and make billions in a few months.

Nobody does it because LLMS are a fucking scam, like crypto, and I am tired of pretending is not.
