For those interested in social science research, there are many ways to explore this empirically. You could mix and match some of the following approaches: 1. Ask a high-quality LLM in research mode to gather empirical statistics on how dif

How are you measuring productivity? What one can make with VB6 (final release in 1998) is very far from what can make with modern stacks. (My efficiency at building LEGO structures is unbelievable! I put the real civil engineers to shame.)
