People get way more productive by rethinking their workflow, especially in research, not all the time, but like it was not an unprecedented story in 2015.
Do you remember when people were talking about 10x engineers in the 2010s.
Discovering that in a new workflow, you are the 10x engineer is not unprecedented.
The question is the rate of (try new thing)-> clicks with workflow so output jumps, higher.
Sometimes, people got 10x more productive from some change before any of this, so understand that any change in workflow has a noise floor even at these productivity leaps.
