… I'm talking thousands of lines of code in a single 3-hour session, with much of my time being spent browsing the internet while I wait for Codex to run in 15-20 minute sessions. I'd estimate at least a 20x speedup in my ability to ship. (and before you say it, yes, I review every single line of code before merging anything, so no - it's not AI slop)
