I mean, I don't disagree with you when you say that something that would take an hour or more to implement would only take 10 minutes or so with AI. That kind of aligns with my personal experience. If something takes an hour, it's probably something that the LLM can do, and I probably should have the LLM do it unless I see some value in doing it myself for knowledge retention or whatever.

But working on features that can fit within a timebox of "an hour or more" takes up very little of my time.

That's what I mean, there are certain contexts where it makes sense to say "yeah, AI made me 2x-10x more productive", but taken as a whole just how productive have you become? Actually being 2x productive as a whole would have a profound impact.

What would be something that can't be broken down into one-hour tasks? Can you give a concrete example?
