The study tracked around 800 developers, comparing their output with and without GitHub's Copilot coding assistant over three-month periods. Surprisingly, when measuring key metrics like pull request cycle time and throughput, Uplevel found no meaningful improvements for those using Copilot.

I'm mildly surprised at all the bad experiences.

I've been using chatgpt for a while now. Tbf, of all the ai code assistant I tried, the only one that isn't garbage is chatgpt. Annoying part is to provide code snippet and context.

But once you do, it becomes a god

Entire mechanics, algo, template, helper functions, done within a minute.

I legit can save multiple hours of work everyday with it. Obviously, I use this extra bit of time for myself ! Lmao
