You’re going to be the least productive developer in any work setting from this point on. There are people checking in 50k lines of solid TDD verified, non bloat, instrument performance checked feature code per day. Your 200 lines isn’t going to cut it for very long.

That may indeed look like quite the speed-up. But the accumulated errors and entropy in such an enterprise will eventually cause a cave-in, at which point the productivity metrics don't look so good.

I dont believe this for one second.

There ought to be entire sets of teams of devs replaced by one guy if this the case.

There ought to be popular open source projects suddenly being improved at 10x previous speed if it were true.

Im seeing plenty of evidence of slop being churned out fast, often creating work for others in the process.

I keep reading all over social media about these "hypercharged 10x AI devs".

But, I see literally zero evidence of their existence beyond a series of comments on internet forums of "trust me bro".

50k lines per day, or at least 1 million lines a month, per team member. How many months can you keep that up, and keep calling it "non bloat"?

Well you stop when you have what you want. It doesn’t have to go the whole month. Over the last couple of months I’ve had to ride product and my business analysts hard because they can’t seem to come up with new features fast enough.
