Writing software is not chopping trees, though.
For instance, there is a lot of evidence (and intuition, frankly) to the argument that while LLM increase superficial, short-term productivity, they also cause an extreme accumulation in technical debt that may more than wipe out any initial, fast progress down the line.
At some point you just have to shrug and get back to work chopping down 3-5x more trees than you did last year.
