> They don’t do what the billionaires claim they do: researchers found that open source developers were 19% less productive when using AI tools [Becker25], and a UK study showed no productivity gain [Kunert25]. n16, "We caution readers against overgeneralizing on the basis of our results. The slowdown we observe does not imply that current AI tools do not often improve developer’s productivity"

@andybalaam@mastodon.social The only thing, I had to disable JavaScript for your site. Bad idea to store my decision about cookies in a cookie. Cookies blocked and I do not need such loops!

@andybalaam@mastodon.social I've been thinking about some of this a lot recently. I was paying for a personal subscription for a few months to play around with it and understand it as a tool - as a software dev it seem's I "need" it in my toolbox. Compared to most at work, I use it infrequently and only when I need to. Personally, I've been using it to learn Rust, but giving it what I want to achieve and then questioning - kind of like a mentor.
