60% increase in income

… It is like I'm more of in a CTO or CEO role of my side projects and have this extra coder that I'm doing reviews for. I probably bill around 60% of my salaried work freelancing on the side, and I wouldn't bother to do this freelancing without GPT, so for me it has directly contributed to 60% increase in income. I think people who aren't willing to spend on that, either don't understand how to multiply their output from it or don't understand how to make multiplied output into effective income.
