Again, my understanding is that the 10x study was done on reviewed devs writing necessary and best-practice code in a cooperative setting with the same tooling, so this is still irrelevant to discussing the topic. Of course no one who wants to encourage velocity thinks you shouldn't invest in tooling that will automate long tasks for you. We should learn and cheat. My irritation is with suggestions that there's nothing serious to learn, not that I think there's nothing to cheat on, which is an unconnected topic anyway.
