I am an experienced programmer, and just recently started using ChatGPT and Cursor to help me code. Some things it does like magic, and it's hard to say what n-fold improvement there is. I'll put the lower limit on 3x and an upper, on certain tasks, at 20x.
The project I am currently working on is took me about 16 hours to get to an MVP. A hobby project of similar size I did a few years ago took me about 80 hours. A lot of the work is NOT coding work that an LLM can help me with.
10x over everything is overstating it. However, if I can take my star developer who is already delivering significantly more value per dollar than my average guys and 3x him, that's quite a boost.
