It’s immeasurable. I use AI for powering through personal projects, which would not have gotten done without AI because I also have a job and a life. It allows me to focus on the product and requirements rather than the code. It’s hard to measure because the projects would simply not have gotten done without it.

The most fascinating thing about AI is how in a thread like this one, answers range between 0% and infinity.

Personally I do not trust for a second self-reports anyways. They are bound to be wrong.

To be fair, for my coding at work, AI is “only” like a 2x booster because stuff at work is a lot less greenfield.
