Where as I'm stuck in a big team with a legacy codebase and lots of business rules, performing small incremental changes. So I spend my days banging the Esc key and shouting "Shut the f**k up!".
Luckily I work remote. I'd turn it off again, but my usage is monitored and I don't want to look like a Luddite.
So may be .75x to .8x range.
- xXSLAYERXx 2mo agoIn my experience a legacy codebase is where LLM shines. What would take days to grok is understood and explained almost immediately. There was a bit of job security with being the one whose worked with IIFEs to manage state. You must know the codebase well if the LLM is slowing you down.
- bdcravens 2mo agoSome of our biggest wins were in a legacy code base, where changes would require a lot of archaeology. I feel like Claude (and probably most coding LLMs) really shine when optimizing fat blocks of SQL, given the complex relational calculus.
