My high skilled example from the other day: I wrote an algorithm out line by line in detail and had Claude turn it into avx2 intrinsics. It worked really well and i didn't have to dig through the manuals to remember how to get the lanes shuffled in the way I needed. Probably saved me 10 minutes but it would have been an annoying 10 minutes. :)
But that's a very low level task, where i had already decided on the "how it should be done" part. I find in general that for things that aren't really obvious, telling the llm _how_ to do it produces much more satisfactory results. I'm not quite sure how to measure that force multiplier - I can put in the same amount of work as a junior person and get better output?
