Right, I keep seeing people talking past each other in this same way. I don't doubt folks when they say they coded up some greenfield project 10x faster with Claude, it's clearly great at many of those tasks! But then so many of them claim that their experience should translate to every developer in every scenario, to the point of saying they must be using it wrong if they aren't having the same experience.

Many software devs work in teams on large projects where LLMs have a more nuanced value. I myself mostly work on a large project inside a large organization. Spitting out lines of code is practically never a bottleneck for me. Running a suite of agents to generate out a ton of code for my coworkers to review doesn't really solve a problem that I have. I still use Claude in other ways and find it useful, but I'm certainly not 10x more productive with it.
