I rolled out a migration to 60+ backends by using Claude code to manage it in the background. Simultaneously, I worked on other features while keeping my usual meeting load. I have more commits and releases per week than I have had in my whole career, which is objectively more productive.

How is anyone supposed to understand what this means?

Given the ambiguity in your description and lack of actual code it’s hard to take you seriously.

Sometimes when I read such meaningless things my first reaction is to feel like I'm too ignorant to understand what the person says.

But then when I really think about it usually they're just bullshitting out being purposefully vague, using terms that don't mean anything precise in order to avoid actual criticism.

I question your assertion that more commits and releases per week is more productivity. There could be unexpected effects from your commits that create more work for you or for others and that could be hard to quantify.

Doing bad things faster might feel more productive to you, but it doesn’t mean that you are delivering more value. You might be, but the metrics you have shared to not prove that.

If you are producing much lower quality then no, it is not objectively more productive

If you find yourself working at the same place as me, feel free to judge my work, but until then, enjoy speculating.
