Very cool work! And I love the nuance in your methodology and findings. Anyway, I'm preparing myself for all the "Bombshell news: AI is slowing down developers" posts that are coming.

Plus the gaslighting to follow for anyone claiming AI improved their productivity.

Well, it would be a nice counterweight to all the gaslighting of people who claim AI doesn't improve their productivity...

I've never seen a post telling someone who claimed that AI didn't improve their productivity that they were mistaken and that actually it had.

Plenty of "you're holding it wrong" and "it works for me", but not directly telling someone that their perceptions were inaccurate.
