The study also revealed that coding is not the primary bottleneck. Meetings, interruptions, and slow CI/CD cost developers more time than AI saves. Nonetheless some organisations try to use AI to compensate, rather than fixing root cultural issues.

Where do humans fit in AI-assisted software development?

Not “out of the loop” – but “on the loop”!

As Kief Morris explains, developers are shifting toward:
→ designing specs
→ defining tests
→ shaping feedback mechanisms to guide AI agents
→ governing how AI systems behave

Today's find on the impact of LLMcoding to maintainability of the result.
Assumption 80% of a systens cost arises from.maintenance, thus maintainability is still relevant in the prssence of LLMcoding.

TL;DR: A fool with a tool is still a fool. And LLMcoding is just that: a tool

Given the confirmation bias I'm curious to see reproduction and follow up studies and papers.

The video mentions that the results were published as a peer reviewed paper. Unfortunately I couldn't immediately find said paper. If any one finds it, please post a link/DOI below.
