I was really fascinated by this as well. I think it's a great idea. Where does the 15 hours/per developer/per week come from. Couldn't find more information about that anywhere on your website.

Before I started Optic I watched 20 developers code for 1 day each. I kept logs of what they were working on and asked people to rate how they felt throughout the process. The 15/hrs/wk is a rough estimate of what we could automate. Our most avid users over the last month self report a little less but I think once we add better support for a few more things we’ll catch up.

I never thought to publish those results. Sounds like something people would be interested in?

I'm sure neither the technical-minded audience here wouldn't nor the prospective clients wouldn't mind having a look at them at all.

Would love to see your findings!
