studies suggest nothing. i've released a massive number of features in the last year for several projects that i estimate would have taken me multiple years to put together in a much more mentally exhausting way.

Your drive-by comments are unwelcome. You can estimate all you want, but the data is collating, and it isn't within your worldview.
It is healthy to question results: That's good science.

This result wouldn't surprise me if the tooling was limited to, say, copilot :)

It would surprise me if it included tooling like Claude Code. Which seems unlikely, given its recency.

I am not estimating anything. This is my own evidence from my own projects. I have deployed gigantic features this past year, each of which would have taken me the whole year to write.
