This. LLMs make it much easier to write one-off scripts and custom tools for a bunch of stuff like plotting and visualizations. Because the cost is lower you produce much more of this stuff. But this doesn’t mean that AI is contributing 90% of the value. The ideal metric would be something like “how much longer would it take to ship Claude n+1 if we didn’t use Claude n for coding”?
