300% is a massive underestimate for someone who is AI native and understands how to prompt and interpret results correctly. In the past I would spend 30-40 minutes hunting around on StackOverflow to get the syntax of a difficult database query or bust out a long regular expression.
With AI I can do the same in 15 seconds. We’re talking a 120x increase in productivity not a 3x improvement.
- jononor 2y agoDo you spend 100% of your time on such tasks? If not, then Amdahl wants a word with you about your overall productivity gains.
- m_fayer 2y agoAgreed, I don’t know why people are so down on ai as a coding assistant here. I concur with everything you said, and will add that now I also have a service that will produce, on-demand, the exact documentation that I need at the exact level of abstraction, and then I can interrogate it at will. These things are huge time savers.
