So you went from being able to handle at most 10 or so of these tasks you often get per week, to >500/week. Did you reap any workplace benefits from this insane boost in productivity?

My house has never been cleaner. I have time to catch up on chores that I normally do during the weekend. Dishes, laundry, walk the dog more.

It seems silly but it’s opened up a lot of extra time for some of this stuff. Heck, I even play my guitar more, something I’ve neglected for years. Noodle around while I wait for Claude to finish something and then I review it.

All in all, I dig this new world. But I also code JS web apps for a living, so just about the easiest code for an LLM to tackle.

EDIT: Though I think you are asking about work specifically. i.e., does management recognize your contributions and reward you?

For me, no. But like I said, I get more done at work and more done at home. It’s weird. And awesome.

That doesn't sound like a situation that will last. If management figures out you are using this extra time to do all your chores, they aren't gonna reward you. They might decide to get someone who would use the extra time to do more work...

So much of what people hyping AI write in this forums boils down to "this vendor will keep making this tool better forever and management will let me keep the productivity gains".

Experience shows otherwise. Urging me to embrace a new way of building software that is predicated on benevolent vendors and management seems hostile to me.
