I might find this ultra-productivity useful if it was at a business or side-project I owned or ran, where I have a large stake in the outcomes and there’s not enough people to do everything. But, if working for a medium to large-sized company, the ROI on this type of productivity just isn’t there. I’m not saying don’t be professional and work hard and do your job, but in my experience if you race ahead because of some productivity hack you often end up either completing something that has changed from how you did it by the time it is needed, or no one really notices that you’re cranking out extra tasks all the time. I guess I could see a benefit if you use this to work smarter not harder and automate out a lot of mundane drudgery in your day-to-day.

Yes, input has to be tied to outcome else you might as well just bikeshed and relax in meetings. This is likely why there are so many developer-adjacent roles in medium-large companies: nobody actually wants to do (hard) work and I really can't blame them.
