> For me it’s just a huge force multiplier, maybe 10-20x of my ability to deliver with my own knowledge and skills on a web dev basis.

I can tell you that this claim is where a lot of engineers are getting hung up. People keep saying that they are 10, 20 and sometimes even 100x more productive but it's this hyperbole that is harming that building style more than anything.

If you anyone could get 10 to 20 years worth of work done in 1 year, it would be so obvious that you wouldn't even have to tell anyone. Everyone would just see how much work you got done and be like "How did you do 2 decades worth of work this year?!"

I agree. I'd say it's simply that 20 years of software development isn't bottle necked by the ability to churn out code.

yep plus all these companies going all in on AI would have already laid off 95% of their software engineers.
