alt Hacker NewsI have agents that have been running nonstop for several days working through tasks. At some point I have to go to sleep, and wake up to more progress.
Even with preplanning and post hoc analysis thrown in, I am seeing way more than 2x return on my investment. Where are your numbers coming from?

I wonder how that progress is being measured. Lines of code or counts of PRs? Sure... but I thought the matter of measuring productivity by lines of code was already well-understood as being misguided.
I'm having trouble reconciling all that supposed productivity with the real world where software isn't getting better, delivered faster, or becoming cheaper - unlike virtually all breakthroughs in industrialization (printing press, weaving loom, etc) which led to a quick increase in at least one of such factors.
I'm not denying that AI helps with and excels at parts of the software development lifecycle, but from my experience those parts overall contribute to a small increase in output or merely shift the work elsewhere (where it may just not be part of whatever measurement is being used).
