Would you be so kind to lead by example? What are the specific tasks + prompts giving you an 3x increased output, and conversely, what tasks don't work at all?

  Oh, 3x at work. I shared some details on the methodology, its PR rate for ticketed features / bugs (so e.g. closed tickets as opposed to commits, loc, etc). For prompts and tasks, am happy to share (redacted as needed; check comment threads) if you want more details, presuming this is a genuine request? Here's a few example prompts (I can't paste exactly obviously, but I can approximate): - "Rails / sidekiq: <x file> uses sidekiq batches. <y file> does it. Refactor your to use pattern in <x file> Match spec in <z file> then run rspec and rubocop" - "Typescript / react. <x file>. Why is typescript compilation a bottle neck int his file. Use debugger to provide definitive evidence. Cast type to any and run script and time it; write a script to measure timing if needed. Iteratively work from type `any` to a real type and measure timing at each step. Summarize results" - "I redefine <FormComponent> in five places. Find them all. Identify the shared patterns. Make new component in <x location>. Refactor each to to use new component. Run yarn lint and fix any ts issues when done" - "<file y>: more idiomatic" (it knows my preferences) Side projects and such I have no idea, and (as you noted) I do those quite infrequently anyways! Actually come to think of it... outside of the toy iOS work I did last week, I've not actually worked on my side projects since getting into Claude code / cursor agents. For work stuff, I guess other metrics I'd be interested in are total messages sent per task. I do sometimes look at $ per task (but for me anyways, that's so wildly in my favor I don't think it's worth it".
