Another factor improving productivity is AI tools. I for one, am more productive writing code with the help of a generative AI.

I am maybe slightly more productive. The hard parts of the job are not solved by generated code.
I’m not an “AI” booster, but - you’re right, but also the hard parts of the job aren’t actually the majority of the job, and the new tools are definitely making a bunch of the other stuff take less of my time. They don’t do the job for you, but they’re pretty good leverage if you use them right.

(Although I’ll say I’m also a bit lazier - I’ve accepted some autocomplete suggestions that are definitely worse than what I’d write myself, but they’re a whole lot faster than my version.)

helping me arrive to final code faster by AI writing all my ideas and playing around . It makes hardest part easier.
