The delta isn't a day to 5 minutes, but a day to a half hour (where most of my larger tickets take)? Yes, especially as you don't need to watch it do its thing anymore.

To me, the lack of amazing productivity gains is that we have done nothing to speed up figuring out what to build and nothing to speed up getting code into production from pull request and in a lot of companies, code review is already saturated.

Also, the agents are good at figuring out problems for themselves, so I can ask it to set up a CI/CD pipeline, give it GitHub access, and it will just try things until it succeeds.
