I think what most people answering in this thread who are saying something like "10x" are missing is that this number does probably not apply to their overall productivity. Sure, some boilerplate task that took you 10 min of writing code now maybe takes 1 min. But I think people just take this number and then extrapolate it to their whole work day.
I mean if you everybody would be truly 10x more productive (and at the same output quality as before, obviously), this would mean that your company is now developing software 10 times faster as 2 years ago. And there's just no way that this is true across our industry. So something is off.
Caveats:
- Yes, I get that you can now vibe code a pet project on the weekend when you were just too tired before, but that's not really the question here, is it?
- Yes, if your whole job is just to write boilerplate code, and there's no collaboration with others involved, no business logic involved, etc., ok, maybe you are 10x more productive.
