5 to 10 times faster

In the thread “Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?”

Helped: Clear architecture, TDD, and AGENTS.md for context.

… On the other side, I don't worry about implementation details like how to use libraries and APIs that I am not familiar with, the agent just writes and I test. Currently I am working on a product and I can tell you, working no more than 10 hours a week (2 hours here, 3 there, leave the agent working while I am having dinner with family) I am progressing at I would say 5 to 10 times faster than without it. So, yeah it works, but I had to adjust how I do my job.
