@BellicoseBestie@jeremykauffman Used to get 20+ in a day, but strategic mowing (and a little bit of chemical warfare) keeps them in check at least in the immediate area around the camp
Fly on the wall at a family wedding listening to people talk about AI at workโฆ everyone is being promised a magic wand, handed a wrench, using it like a hammer, and then calling it a shitty screwdriver.

Note to self: a Claude extension where you call it Cletus. It's still sycophantic, but instead of "you're absolutely right" it says "hell yeah brother".
Urbitcels must be seething over everyone suddenly on board with the vision when it's Claude on a Mac Mini. If they'd called it moldbot people would've been all over it.
@andrewmccalip If you're thoughtful and creative, you can do some really powerful stuff with either... but then most people just make cheap useless crap

I've been articulating the productivity factor (directionally if not precisely) as something in the neighborhood of 10^n with n zeroed around +1SD.
Treating that zero point as the laziness/leverage divide. Compounding above it, atrophy below it.
IMO the thing that's confusing people about productivity gains from AI coding is that it's totally non-linear:
* Non-programmers (0x engineers) are now 0.8x engineers
* 1x engineers are now 1.2x
* 2x engineers are now 4x
* 10x engineers (they exist) are now 1000x engineers
