I dunno, as an engineer who likes to make side projects, I can say with high certainty that LLMs have helped me compensate for things I'm worse at when coding a product.

I'm good at the engineering side of things, I'm good at UI, I'm good at UX, I'm good at css, I'm just not good at design.

So I tell the LLM to do it for me. It works incredibly well.

I don't know if it's a net increase in productivity for me, but I am absolutely certain that it is a net increase in my ability to ship a more complete product.

That makes perfect sense to me. I’m finding real value in natural language search for code and docs, and “remind me how to do X.”

It’s the extraordinary claims of 10x speed and crazy autopilot that have me looking around for missing cows.
