I've had one situation in which I was able to get a 20X productivity boost. I needed to do a large number of similarish things. I carefully hand coded one, created an AGENTS.md that explained everything in a lot of detail and then went to town on generation.

Everything went well and I knew what to expect so reviewing the code was quick.

The experience was super great. I was a 20X AI boosted engineer for a bit. But, I haven't had that situation again.

Anyway, I would say, try to find areas of the code that fit this model if you can. AI is phenomenal for this use case.
