There is a lot of interest in Agentic AI and coding assistants, lots of hype, and lots of scare. This paper does a large-scale experiment on how much coding assistants really help. They look at 150 developers, and they find that AI helps in short-term productivity without any impact on maintainability.
In this video, they explain a lot of cool things and demystify the use of AI. They find that knowing what you want to do helps a lot when using AI agents – so, again, good programmers will be fantastic, while bad programmers will not have a chance.
Have a nice reading!
