The AI industry's claims about AI coding assistants boosting productivity significantly appear to be massively overblown, per a new report.

“No Duh,” say senior developers everywhere.

      I guess I’m one of the idiots then, but what do I know. I’ve only been coding since the 90s

      Think this one needs a bimodal curve with the two peaks representing the “caught up in the hype” average coder and the realistic average coder.

      Yeah, there’s definitely morons out there who never bothered to even read about the theory of good code design.
