Yeah, PyPI packages are a strange measurement.
These tend to be utilities, and a lot of AI coding either reduces the need for utilities, or uses them but doesn't publish to a package index.
- pydry 7mo agoWhy would AI increase coding productivity for everything except utilities and libraries? I think it's probably one of the better ways to measure productivity, actually. Software packages are unencumbered by non coding related bottlenecks.
- paulddraper 7mo agoI think it would affect it as well. But libraries exist because software is expensive and therefore should be heavily reused. If software is relatively cheap, there is relatively less need to save and reuse it.
