Doing it the old fashioned lazy way, copy-pasting snippets of code you search for on the internet and slightly modifying each one to fit with the rest of your code, would take me hours to achieve the kind of slop that claude code can one shot in five minutes.

Yeah yeah, call me junior or whatever, I have thick skin. I'm a lazy bastard and I no longer care about the art of the craft, I just want programs tailored to my tastes and agentic coding tools are by far the fastest way to get it. 10x doesn't even come close, it's more like 100x just on the basis of time alone. Effort? After the planning stage I kick back with video games while the tool works. Far better than 100x for effort.
