It’s almost a throwaway line in a quick update. This isn’t a UBS official statement — it’s a guy who works for UBS having thoughts on his UBS-published blog. I imagine he hasn’t actually used systems like GitHub Copilot himself, or read studies by big tech companies about how much such systems actually accomplish in terms of productivity. Current benefits are currently pretty marginal in big tech.

In VC and finance land Copilot is going to make all developers 10x more productive and any company not using it is going to fall behind. If CTOs are not buying Copilot for all their developers they are going to get fired. There is a huge bubble brewing and the only beneficiaries are MS and nVidia. Billions spent on ventures that do not make anyone money. Dotcom bubble 2.0.

  But it says 55% faster coding right there on the website: https://github.com/features/copilot https://github.com/features/copilot Never mind that number came from an in-house experiment with deeply artificial conditions where the study was designed to show the product in the best light.
