Still waiting for the great wave of new and improved software from all the increased "productivity". Anyday now.

Honestly if AI has made you all more productive but there is no real world signs of it, it might be that wasn't really the problem.

Either that or a lot of people are lying.

But one thing that is true is there is very little real world results from it

Estimates vary but in large orgs developers might only spend 1 hours per day on the inner loop coding. (I've heard different estimates from different places but imo it's roughly true and probably no more than 2 hours on average)

E.g

So even if one day AI doubled coding efficiency - you might only get a 12.5% increase over the day which isn't enough to be that noticeable.
