your google-fu isnt failing. there's simply only a couple large studies on this, and of those, zero that have a useful methodology.




I think there is going to be 2-3 year lag in understanding how llms actually impact developer productivity. There are way too many balls in the air, and anyone claiming specific numbers on productivity increase is likely very very wrong.

For example citing staff engineers as an example will have a bias: they have years of traditional training and are obviously not representative of software engineers in general.
