I've been using the AIs heavily for ~3 years, but really about Feb/Mar I feel like they really ticked up in quality. For about the last 6-12 months I've been using them to file off the really rough edges ("build a CLI tool that implements commands to simplify this workflow"). The last 2-3 months my tooling has felt really competent, and so it was only really the last month where I felt like I could reasonably start having it automate the more subtle stuff.

You're new around here? ;-) Or maybe I'm just old and jaded, and feel like there's always infinite more work to do. My boss, the CTO, has said "if you are getting twice your pre-AI work done in half the time, the rest of the time is yours." Unfortunately that statement came after "I'm not sure how the CEO feels about this but..."

My company has 25 years of tech debt built up, and the AI tooling has allowed us to make amazing headway on that, but I'm ~5 years from retirement, even working 10X I'm not expecting we can catch up in that time.
