Contrary to what your feed wants you to believe, the biggest productivity unlock this year isn’t parallel agents. It’s the ubiquitous dev environment. No affiliations.
The 1000x engineer
It’s almost half-time 2026, and the only thing holding your portfolio back from hitting a life-altering exponential is a single question, nagging at the back of every stock market analyst’s balding head: is it a bubble, or are there actual productivity gains?
Of course there are. If anyone would know, it would be us: the expendable coders. And not because of the never-ending tech layoffs (by now it should be clear to everyone that there are entirely different motives for that). No, the reason is because every day we see our computers do things for us that just a few years ago would have seemed like magic. They write 100% of our code. They test it. They review it. Of course, there are productivity gains.
How much?! the analyst yells.
