Talking about a specific set-up they use isn't the goal of the post, so I don't think it's a cop out.
"How to harness it" is very clearly the difference between users right now, and I'd say we're currently bottom heavy with poor users stuck in a 'productivity illusion'.
But there is the question of "what is productivity?"
I'm finding myself (having AI) writing better structured docs and tests to make sure the AI can do what I ask it to.
I suspect that turns into compounding interests (or lack of technical debt).
For an industry where devs have complained, for decades, about productivity metrics being extremely hard or outright bullshit, I see way too many of the same people now waving around studies regarding productivity.
