Why isn't there a single screencast (un-edited, un-cherry-picked) of anyone showing off their 10x productivity boost in a full "typical" coding session?

Someone recently asked this on Twitter; Simon Willison responded with https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jun/21/search-based-rag/ which I have not yet watched but which he claimed was a good example of this genre.

Having rewatched that myself the other day it's not actually as good an example as I thought - I use Claude 3.5 Sonnet a bit in it (which was released the morning we recorded that video) and then get a bit of benefit out of Val Town's integration with Codeium, which is similar to VS Code Copilot - but not as much of the code in it was LLM-generated as I remembered.

A better (written) description of how I use these tools is this one: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Mar/30/ocr-pdfs-images/ - and this whole series of posts: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-assisted-programming/

I would point out that the OCR example (and from what I see the series of posts you linked to) aren't "live" coding screen shares and don't convey the nitty gritty of how these things are used and how well they work.

Right, but they’re the best I have - I don’t do much live coding aside from that Val Town one which doesn’t use LLMs very much.
