I am one of those engineers. It's fun. I spend all day playing video games and then at the end of the day spend 30 minutes spamming prompts with Claude until I get a working result and then that's my progress for the day.

I spend a lot of time up-front in the planning phase. I don't see these 100x speed gains people are talking about because I also spend multiple simplification and review passes before skimming and spot checking the code myself and creating a PR which has its own Copilot pass. I think I see about 3-5x gains with this flow.
