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.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

    Im not super surprised, but AI has been really useful when it comes to learning or giving me a direction to look into something more directly.

    Im not really an advocate for AI, but there are some really nice things AI can do. And i like to test the code quality of the models i have access to.

    I always ask for a ftp server and dns server, to check what it can do and they work surprisingly well most of the time.
