Mostly coding

4 tasks. February 22, 2026 closed at 127.2x weighted leverage across 142.0 human-equivalent hours in 67 minutes of wall-clock time. Supervisory leverage came in at 370.4x.

That is 3.5 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 1.1 hours. The ceiling was 205.7x; the floor was 36.0x. 3 of the 4 entries came from a single project.

Analysis

The highest factor of the day came in at 205.7x and the lowest at 36.0x, a spread of 5.7 times between the two. That is a wide range for a single day, and it usually means the day mixed mechanical work with work that needed real judgement.

The largest single entry accounted for 120.0 of the 142.0 human-equivalent hours, or 85 percent of the day. One task carrying that much of the total is worth noting; the average is doing less work than it appears to.

Supervisory time was 23 minutes against 67 minutes of execution, a ratio of about 1 to 3. Supervisory leverage of 370.4x is the figure I find most honest, because it measures the hours I actually spent rather than the hours a machine spent on my behalf.

Every figure here is recorded at the time the work is done rather than reconstructed afterwards. The human estimate is my own judgement and carries the uncertainty that implies; the minutes and tokens are measured. The full dataset, including this day, is available for download.
