>>"I think 2025 was less productive"

I think 2025 is more productive for me based on measurable metrics such as code contribution to my projects, better ability to ingest and act upon information, and generally I appreciate the Anthropic tax because Claude genuinely has been a step-change improvement in my life.

Isn‘t it generally agreed upon that counting contributions, LoC or similar metrics is a very bad way to gauge productivity?

During 2025 I've almost exhausted my personal TODO-list of small applications and created a few extra ones.

This would've never happened without a Claude Pro (+ChatGPT) subscription.

And as I'm not American, none of them are aimed to be subscription based SaaS offerings, they're just simple CLI applications for my personal use. If someone else enjoys them, good for them. =)

I don't care about industry metrics when I'm building my own AI research robotics platform and it's doing what I ask it to do, proving itself in the real world far better than any performative best-practice theatrics in the service of risible MBA-grade effluvia masquerading as critical discourse.
