I’m not sure how to answer the question on percentage of time coding. I quit my job as a director where coding wasn’t part of the job but have kept up on side stuff and architecture at work. Since the new year when I started this it’s been in bursts, some weeks or nights I’ll go super hard coding and others I’ll focus on other stuff. I go to conferences and study a lot on the subject of the industry so that’s what I do in bursts of the non-coding time.

I hired a virtual assistant to help with the non-coding things so lately it’s been a lot more.

In general I’d estimate at least 50% of my work on this thing since January has been coding but it’s really hard to gauge. Claude over the past 3 days has surpassed my personal coding productivity over the past 3 months though, if it wasn’t clear what I was saying.

Hopefully it’s obvious that Claude will not have simply written the entire thing but you might get a sense of what it can do quickly as part of a whole - maybe similar to your last sentence but I suppose I am claiming massive improvements (in productivity, no warranty on quality yet).

Also keep in mind I’m entirely solo here. I fully agree with your points that the proof is in the pudding and obviously there’s nuance to all of it. But yeah, I’m not exaggerating with my commentary above.
