only 10x? I'm at least 100x as productive. I only type at a measly 100wpm, whereas Claude can output 100+ tokens a second

I'm outputting a PR every 6 minutes. The reviewers are using Claude to review everything. It used to take a day to add 100 lines to the codebase.. now I can add 100 lines in one prompt

If I want even more productivity (at risk of making the rest of my team look slow) I can tell Claude to output double the lines and ship it off for review. My performance metrics are incredible

So no human reads the actual code that you push to production? Are you not worried about security risks, spaghetti code, and other issues? Or does Claude magically make all of those concerns go away?
forgot the /s
Sorry lol, sometimes difficult to separate the hype boys from actual sarcasm these days
Not sure if joking...?
This is only the beginning. I can see myself having 100 Claude tasks running concurrently - the only problem is edits clash between files. I'm working on having Claude solve this by giving each instance its own repo to work with, then I ask the final Claude to mash it all together as best it can

What's 100x productivity multiplied by 100 instances of Claude? 10,000x productivity

Now to be fair and a bit more realistic it's not actually 10000x because it takes longer to push the PR because the file sizes are so big. Let's call it 9800x. That's still a sizable improvement

Big if true
