I decided to put AI code productivity to the test with a week-long experiment: what&rsquo;s the maximum amount of working code I could realistically ship in a single day using AI assistance?</p> <p>Spoiler alert: the results were both more impressive and more humbling than I expected.</p> <h2 id="the-setup-three-different-complexity-levels">The Setup: Three Different Complexity Levels</h2> <p>Rather than cherry-picking the easiest possible project, I wanted to test AI coding speed across different types of development work. I chose three representative scenarios that most of us encounter regularly:</p>
