My analogy to this is seeing people spend time trying to figure out how to change colors, draw shapes in powerpoint, rather than focus on the content and presentation. So here, we have developers now focusing their efforts on correcting the AI output, rather than doing the research and improving their ability to deliver code in the future.
Hmm...
When I’m in the “zone” I wouldn’t go near an LLM, but when I’ve fallen out of the “zone” they can be useful tools in getting me back into it, or just finishing that one extra thing before signing off for the day
I think the right answer to “does LLM use help or hinder developer productivity” is “it depends on how you use them”
> I think this for me is the most worrying: "You can see that for AI Allowed tasks, developers spent less time researching and writing code".
A Kindle is exactly the kind of device you would research and educate yourself via and the quantity of books has nothing to do with the reading of them or contents thereof. Terrible comparison.
