Project completion rate vs previous abandonment rate. But mostly time to implement a task vs before.

I used to spent my days writing unit tests. Integration tests. Functional tests. Now I synth the unit tests and adjust I/O to define desired implementation. It’s very effective.

I will say it’s a subjective measure that’s not really general or transferable. Most folks will have marginal gains.
I “feel” about 10x more effective, but I’m sure others would disagree.

8.6x is impressive. How did you measure it?

I am operating at about 8.6x since May 2025.

It’s real, but I was already very productive to begin with, and reasonably knowledgeable.
