I'd love to watch a video of someone using these tools well, because I am not getting much out of it. They save some time, sometimes, but they're nowhere near the 5x boost that some people claim.


I don't know what everyone is doing. Mine is like a 10X-100X force multiplier. I enjoy coding enormously more now that all the drudgery is removed.

And I might not be the best coder, by far, but I've got over 40 years experience at this crap in practically every language going.

We can quibble about the exact number; 1.2x vs 5x vs 10x, but there's clearly something there.
