Good devs are still learning how to use LLMs, and so are willing to accept the 0.65x once in a while. Any complex tool will have a learning curve. Most tools improve over time. As such good devs either have found how to use LLMs to make them more productive (probably not 10x, but even 1.1x is something), or they try them again every few months to see if things are better.

you are bending over backwards to figure out how to put "1.1x" in your comment
the idea that LLMs make developers more productive is delusional.

How are you measuring productivity these days Simon? Do you have a boss that has certain expectations? If you don't hit those are you going to lose your house?
