> Maybe 3--5x at best. More like infinity since juniors usually can't independently progress on non trivial tasks (and will probably regres if left to try). I sort of get what OP is saying, if LLMs get better you can delegate stuff you usually delegate to juniors. But that's nowhere near reality right now, LLMs are not even a net positive with all the failure modes and poor workflow. It takes too much compute to get meaningful context. Having to summarize and chunk problems is more work than the benefits. Copilot is great at speeding up obvious typing, but that's like 10% bump.
