Coding and debugging

45 tasks. May 4, 2026 closed at 13.3x weighted leverage across 479.0 human-equivalent hours in 2,164 minutes of wall-clock time. Supervisory leverage came in at 142.3x.

That is 12.0 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 36.1 hours. The ceiling was 51.4x; the floor was 1.3x. 35 of the 45 entries came from a single project.

Analysis

The highest factor of the day came in at 51.4x and the lowest at 1.3x, a spread of 39.9 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 6.0 of the 479.0 human-equivalent hours, or 1 percent of the day. No single task dominated the total, so the weighted average is representative.

Supervisory time was 202 minutes against 2,164 minutes of execution, a ratio of about 1 to 11. Supervisory leverage of 142.3x 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.
