Oddly, I am most productive when I have time to be slow. I make 10x better decisions about what to do, how to do it, and in many cases why NOT to do it.
This isn’t very conducive to corporate work though. It’s about timelines and features promised to customers.
I find I’m 10x more productive in the long term on projects I’m a sole developer on or when working with a small knit team. And I don’t measure that in lines of code or number of features.

Obviously not, it will just make expected windows shorter and shorter.
"This would take a C developer a month, but you use Java so 2 weeks should suffice"
"This would take a Java developer two weeks, but you use Python so a week should suffice"
"This would take a Python developer a week, but you use ChatGPT so I'll expect it sometime tomorrow."
