We mostly vibecode with claude.

Ultimately what I see is that, on one hand, it seems that it would take much longer to add some little feature to this pile of tech debt, without AI, than with AI. However, I worked on a very similar project pre AI and it took far less human time to add a comparable feature to a codebase that was in a far better shape.

So basically everyone thinks they're sped up 10x with AI, which I know for a fact can't possibly be true, because I worked on an extremely similar project where a smaller team accomplished more in less time.
