We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't. pic.twitter.com/w8LSTpCFZL

But everybody and their mom flipped out that students were home and that in-person education is the only way to go, so less worried now.

I am worried for my kids, though. Seems like it’s gonna be a tool for the rich to get richer.

But all decision making is dependent on me.
I can see AI being used more in the future to make decisions and ordering but feel there'll be a need for physicians for quite some time.

It won’t directly replace me but larger organizational shifts and large scale downsizing due to AI and automation could make me expendable or eliminate my position indirectly.

I’m hoping to get 5 more years then I could probably retire if I either get laid off or don’t like my job.
