Mostly coding

6 tasks. March 19, 2026 closed at 48.6x weighted leverage across 85.0 human-equivalent hours in 105 minutes of wall-clock time. Supervisory leverage came in at 196.2x.

That is 2.1 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 1.8 hours. The ceiling was 80.0x; the floor was 20.0x. 4 of the 6 entries came from a single project.

Analysis

The highest factor of the day came in at 80.0x and the lowest at 20.0x, a spread of 4.0 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 40.0 of the 85.0 human-equivalent hours, or 47 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 26 minutes against 105 minutes of execution, a ratio of about 1 to 4. Supervisory leverage of 196.2x 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.
