None of the above. I use Junie to help code and think I am writing better code if not writing it faster.
Copilot also helps me transform into a fox and I have all kinds of KPI for that (e.g. got petted) but as-a-fox or otherwise I reject that there is anything 10x about it.
If you think you are 10x more productive coding before I implore you to look at it from the viewpoint of your team. I've been the guy who picks up projects that were "80% done" and had to do the last 80%. What gets me is the inconsistency, the times it does something better than I would do myself instantly vs the times I want it touch 2 files and it modified 35 and I can't tell what the hell it was thinking and frankly don't care.
Let Claude have access to everything, have it run a local environment as close to production as possible (Docker with the real dependencies, not some locally installed finnicky Postgres), and tell it to thoroughly test all its work and make sure it is set up to do that.
Paste in ticket, get 95% of the way to the end.
I will add the caveat that this is only with the code. The overhead of communication has not improved at all beyond pasting code review comments into Claude to get replies.
What I really need is something to listen in at meetings for my name, summarize what was asked, and suggest an answer based on the codebase.
The live transcription tools like MacWhispr that run local transcription can output to a text. Probably a weekend project to do what you’re saying, have a model read the text in realtime somehow and trigger a code search when it hears your name

I just use Gemini thinking model until the free quota runs out. If you know what you need, it's excellent at coding, makes very little mistakes.
