  Did you read the article? It cites the METR study[1] which showed that while people using AI tools to program report feeling like they are producing more, they are in fact producing about 20% less than without the tools. Ironically you could get the same effect and save compute fees by simply having programmers stay home one day a week.

    Did you read the article? > We do not provide evidence that: AI systems do not currently speed up many or most software developers

      Correct, it only shows that AI slows down experienced developers, which is who the thread is about.

    That study is straight out of the school that measures productivity in kLOC. Completely worthless except as fuel for Internet arguments and poorly-informed policymaking.

      OK, should be easy to find a better study then, right?

        Not my job. Ask your friendly neighborhood LLM, maybe.

          If I wanted advice from someone who was confidently wrong I would talk to a project manager
