All AI impact studies and research papers need to be taken with a pinch of salt. The field is moving so fast that by the time you get peer reviewed, you’re already outdated I’ve watched coding change from Cursor-esque IDEs to terminal based agentic tools within months.

Which also means spending a lot of time learning AI tools gets wasted as the tooling improves. I still suspect the vast silent majority of professional software devs haven’t integrated any, even Cursor-style, AI tools in to their main gig. And I reckon that’s completely rational, for those that have made this choice explicitly. Early adopters of AI tools are making a speculative bet, but so far most of them seem happy with the return.
