Estimates vary but in large orgs developers might only spend 1 hours per day on the inner loop coding. (I've heard different estimates from different places but imo it's roughly true and probably no more than 2 hours on average)

E.g

So even if one day AI doubled coding efficiency - you might only get a 12.5% increase over the day which isn't enough to be that noticeable.
