> Experienced developers were 19% slower when using AI coding assistants—yet believed they were faster

One paper is sure doing a lot of leg work these days...

You know, anecdotally...

When I first picked up an agentic coding assistant I was very interested in the process and paid way more attention to it than necessary.

Quickly, I caught myself treating it like a long compilation and getting up to get a coffee and had to self correct this behavior.

I wonder how much novelty of the tech and workflow plays into this number.
