🇺🇸 STUDY: AI MADE CODERS SLOWER BUT SOMEHOW HAPPIER
A new study by AI research nonprofit METR tested experienced developers using Cursor on codebases they knew like the back of their hand.
They thought it would speed things up by 20%. It actually slowed them down by XX.
Why? The AI’s suggestions were “kinda right” but still needed fixing, wasting more time than just writing the code solo.
The devs still use it anyway - not for speed, but because it makes coding feel easier and less painful.
