Do you also have a graph for more useful metrics, like number of requested features delivered? Commits, lines of code, headscratch count... there are a lot of metrics you can use, but LLMs are notorious for increasing code verbosity - which adds noise to the already imprecise metric you linked.

Yes. I wrote about it in my original post.

  In my own company, the last 2 months, I feel like we've made more feature announcements to our internal staff than they can handle. AI has genuinely made us that much faster.

  In the past, making one of these announcements every month and the company celebrated. Now we're making making multiple each week.
But I suspect you want our project management pipeline? Maybe I can just ask our coding agent to search and summarize all the features and fixes for you and then build a dashboard for you. Better yet, my email is in my profile. Email me, we'll get on a call, and I'll show you. /s

Let me ask you. What are you doing such that your velocity hasn't been greatly accelerated in the last 6 months? Can you prove that it hasn't been accelerated with facts?
