I'm a principal engineer, been working on the same set of codebases for almost 10 years. I handle the 20% or so of my time that constitutes inbound faster than ever and I know because that inbound volume has clearly increased and yet I have, for the first time ever, begun chipping away at the "nice to have" backlog. My biggest time sink now is interviewing and code reviews -- the latter being directly proportional to the velocity increase across the teams I work with. Actually that's my biggest concern -- we are approaching a breaking point for code review volume.

Sorry I don't have DX stats or token usage stats I can share, but based on the directives from on high, those stats are highly correlated (in the positive).

[edit] And SEV rates are not meaningfully higher.
