Your Team Uses AI. Why Aren't You 10x Faster? (bits.logic.inc)

A recent article highlights how Logic, a six-person startup, achieves remarkable development speed, shipping hundreds of features monthly with over 95% of its code generated by AI. Unlike larger organizations, which often struggle to see a significant enhancement in productivity from AI tools, Logic has effectively integrated AI into not just coding, but also planning, design, code reviews, testing, debugging, documentation, and communication. This approach minimizes the impact of Amdahl’s Law, which posits that overall system performance improvement is limited by the time spent on tasks not enhanced by faster processes. The significance of Logic's strategy lies in its focus on streamlining non-coding tasks that traditionally consume a substantial portion of development time. By employing agentic tools for iterative feature planning, automating code reviews, optimizing testing procedures, and fostering close teamwork to eliminate organizational overhead, Logic has managed to maintain a high proportion of coding time (P), allowing them to leverage AI efficiently. This innovative use of AI demonstrates that to realize transformative speedups, organizations should target existing bottlenecks beyond just coding to gain a competitive edge in their development cycles.
