The study tracked around 800 developers, comparing their output with and without GitHub's Copilot coding assistant over three-month periods. Surprisingly, when measuring key metrics like pull request cycle time and throughput, Uplevel found no meaningful improvements for those using Copilot.

It's working in this area for me

I've said this in other comments, but it's easier to change your audience than your content.

What you said is the important bit: at the end of the day, you've got a computer working as a tool for a human. That's what it should be all about. Instead we have so much AI slop that's hardly trying to do anything for people, but rather trying to get another algorithm's attention so it can be shown more - whether a person actually wants to see it or not.

If AI is a tool to create a thing, under the close supervision of a human, for other humans, I'm a lot more open to it. Just don't let it get carried away and forget about the humanity of it all.
