I wonder if any old software companies like amazon, microsoft, apple, or google have data on how many prs a software engineer would produce per day over time. I wonder what that major spikes on the graph would be? live reload? vscode? faster and faster laptops? llms?

I have a hunch the amount of prs written per day per engineer is likely the same or only 10-15% higher.

I have that data for my small team starting from the pre-AI baseline, adding Github copilot doubled PRs/dev/day and adding Claude Code multiplied it by five (from baseline)
