I haven’t seen a study yet that suggests AI tools enhance productivity of developers.

I wouldn’t take it as a given.

The study I have seen was from a company selling AI developer tools whose researchers were employed by said company. Not exactly and independent and bias-free study.

Personally they don’t work for me.

It’s not AI that is going to take out jobs. It’s the capital class that will do that. That’s what is changing the industry.

I suspect this will be the year we start to hear stories of folks getting let go for not using LLM codegen.
