"Was it faster than doing it solo?
Probably yes, on the order of 3–5× for the work captured in these transcripts, with the speedup concentrated in:
Mass refactor / rename work (10× or more — Claude can rename a function and update 200 call sites in minutes).
Code review breadth (subagent fan-out reads more files per hour than any human can).
Performance analysis writeups (the “table of metrics + paragraph of prose” format is something Claude is genuinely good at and is tedious for humans)."
