This is just a +1 to the ROI discussion, but I'd say that AI tooling roughly doubles my development productivity.

Some of it's in asking ChatGPT: "Give me the 3 possible ways to implement X?" and getting something back I hadn't considered. A lot of it is in sort of "super code completion".

I use Cursor and the UI is very slick. If I'm stuck on something (like a method that's not working) I can highlight it and hit Cmd+L and it will explain the code and then suggest how to fix it.

Hit Cmd+K and it will write out the code for you. Also, gotten a lot of mileage out of writing out a rough version of something in a language I know and then getting the AI to turn that into something else (ex: Ruby to Lua).
