im interested in the answer because I have not seen the same productivity increases with claude code and copilot. When I read comments like your original one I think that I must be using the tools incorrectly. How do you use them in your workflow?

Or for anyone else reading this, are there resources you have used to learn how to get the most out of LLM coding tools?

I'm not claiming you're wrong about the boost you got.

I'm saying you may have already had 5 boring factors that laid a good groundwork to enable you to get that boost, but you are discounting those factors.

If I'm wrong, then tell me the context - were you in a situation where you didn't have those factors in place?
