Yes to much of this. For small tasks or where I don’t have specialist knowledge I can get 10* speed increase—on average I would put 20%. Smart autocomplete like Cursor is undoubtably a speedup with no apparent downside. The LLM is still especially weak where I am doing data science or algorithm type work where you need to plot the results and look at the graph to know if you are making progress.
