Do you mean that you can build software 10-20x faster, or that you can literally write code 10-20x faster?

I find it very hard to believe you can build software 10-20x faster with GPT, since the majority of building software isn't writing code.

I'm also curious what you're programming that can be completely offloaded to GPT.

Posted elsewhere, but this is what I suspect is happening. Folks that are primarily slapping together a lot of code are benefitting from ChatGPT. It's pretty useless for the other stuff except maybe boilerplate stuff for a design doc.

There's no language or coding environment that doesn't involve some level of boilerplate or repetition.

Of course. But coding is the easiest part of software engineering already.
