so far llms have increased my dev productivity by < 1%

id like to increase this but don’t have a good idea of what a realistic goal is

looking for good ideas to up my game, read on for more context on how i’m using them currently

runloop.xyz • memo.ai (acquired by Coinbase), summify.com (acquired by Twitter) • 🇺🇸🇷🇴🇨🇦🇨🇭

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

the way i use llms right now is asking questions to claude in a browser (I have @c setup as a  shortcut to search claude in chrome)

its biggest wins for me have been writing short scripts or answering arcane techincal questions about common things like web standards (ex: css stacking contexts or 3rd party cookie behavior under different CSPs)

would appreciate any suggestions

some more background:
20 years coding
write frontend and backend TS
working on Warpcast and Farcaster

beyond this i’m unsure of what else it can do for me right now

the most time consuming part of the coding work that feels rote is translating from figma files to frontend components

but even this isn’t that time consuming and i have trouble imaging how the llm makes this go faster
