> The productivity gains I'm seeing right now are unprecedented.

My company just released a year-long productivity chart covering our shift to Claude Code, and overall, developer productivity has plummeted despite the self-reported productivity survey conveying developers felt it had shot through the roof.

I'd like to see a neutral productivity measure? Whether you tell me it went way up or way down I tend to be suspicious of productivity measures being neutral to perception changes that effect expectation, non paradoxical, etc.

It makes a lot of intuitive sense: people feel more productive because they're twiddling switches but they're spending so much time on tooling it doesn't actually increase output (this is more or less what the MIT study found: 20% perception of productivity, 20% lower actual output).
