The tools of today, even fucking Eclipse and gah Xcode from the early 2000s make programmers far far more than 10x more productive than machine code on punch cards. By your implied logic there should be a tiny fraction of the programmers there were in the 60s.

Anyway I think this 10x more productive claim is still a bunch of BS with the current crop of AI demos.
