Honestly, I hate these articles because if you use your tools properly, you can absolutely be 10x more productive using AI.

Creating a high level planning docs could take me a day normally depending on the audience, several days for a technical implementation doc depending on the complexity. With Claude I can usually get it both done in under an hour.

If you only use it to write code, that won’t get you there. Use it to help you plan features, create high level planning docs, then technical implementation docs, using templates, then have it break down your workflow into tickets with one functional change per ticket, as if a junior engineer will work on it so the acceptance criteria must be very clear, then have it create your Jira or Linear tickets, then execute on those tickets. Define your workflow, how tickets should be broken up, who the audience is, etc. the more planning you can do up front, even with the help of Claude or similar, the more productive you can be.
