It shocks me when people say that LLMs don't make them more productive, because my experience has been the complete opposite, especially with Claude Code.

Either I'm worse than then at programming, to the point that I find an LLM useful and they don't, or they don't know how to use LLMs for coding.

Agreed. I only started using Claude Code about a week and a half ago and I'm blown away by how productive I can be with it.

I've had occasions where a relatively short prompt solved me an entire day of debugging and fixing things, because it was tech stack I barely knew. Most impressive part was when CC knew the changes may take some time to be applied and just used `sleep 60; check logs;` 2-3 times and then started checking elsewhere if something's stuck. It was, CC cleaned it up and a minute later someone pinged me that the it works.
