I agree. Being twice as fast as X might not help depending on how X impacts Y and Z.

As an example, my X is that boilerplate and general speed/effort of modifying my code is lower, but I’m noticing that this doesn’t necessarily make my team any more effective overall.

It seems like it’s been a code review burden and it’s led to some team members being too ambitious with picking up more projects that don’t make sense.

I have seen some managers in particular toss prototype work that they shouldn’t be doing at underlings, and one of those projects in particular really ended up taking me longer than if I had done it from scratch without AI. The fastest result would probably been if I did it from scratch with AI, but because I took it over from someone who didn’t understand the fundamentals and farmed out decisions to AI I had to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes.

Obviously, good management beats bad management all day long, but I bet you most companies don’t have stellar management.
