Is anybody (who has the data) actually claiming use of AI will make a single average engineering 10x faster/better?

Or the data showing something else... possibly, a company starts telling engineers to use AI, then RIFs a huge portion, and expects the remaining engineers to pick up the slack. They now claim "we're more efficient!" when they've just asked their employees to work more weekends.



I have points completed over a six week period at 4.3 per day average, similar architecture was 3.5 points per week before Claude code. The average with Claude is slowing though, need a couple of more months to make any conclusions but management won't let me stop now lol.
