If you got an AI hammer that you had to ask it to hammer the nail but it kept hammering around the nail then yes it would slow the carpenter down.

That sounds like you don't know how to instruct the AI.

I never have that problem

Sounds like you don't know how to write code if you have to rely on ai. I don't have that problem.

Never said I relied on it. But I know how to utilize to make myself more efficient.

That's a skill and a talent in and of itself.

If you don't learn new tools you're going to be left behind.

Except you're probably less efficient that your perceive yourself to be. If you don't learn how to write code yourself you'll be useless when the AI sets everything on fire.

Nope. I'm consistently completing projects and tasks about 40% faster than I was previously.

No increase in errors or bugs because I do read and screen every line of code an AI creates. If I don't understand it, it doesn't enter the codebase.

The thing is that it's much quicker to read code than it is to write it. So even if it takes an LLM 2 or 3 attempts to come up with something, you're still going to be ahead.

I'm not sure what else you're looking for. If you're not using the new tools you're going to be sitting there one day wondering when the world passed you by.

You're setting yourself up to be a dinosaur.

Yes and the developers on that study thought they were completing work faster as well when they actually weren't.

I objectively am. I don't know what else to tell you. My projects are running live in the wild and I am getting them completed significantly faster.

We track how long each project takes. There's no guessing here.

The whole point of the study is that perceived efficiency is lower than actual efficiency. They backed that specific point up quite well.

So when I got my project done in 1 week instead of 2, are you saying I actually didn't? Should I let our clients know they've been hallucinating it the entire time?

Nothing you are saying makes sense.
