Re:Ask HN: Using AI daily but not seeing productivity gains ... by rajeshpatel15 on Wednesday June 25, 2025 @12:56AM (#44373738)
It’s not just you,I’ve seen this too. The key is that AI magnifies your existing workflow: if your process is inefficient, AI just automates the chaos. Instead of open-ended prompts, focus AI on narrow, high-friction tasks like refactoring code or drafting documentation.

Track one metric (e.g., hours saved weekly) to cut through the hype real gains hide in boring tasks, not flashy demos. What specific area feels unproductive for you? Maybe the community can spot the gap.
