Despite the hype, 39% of respondents to LeadDev’s survey reported more minor productivity gains of between 1-10%. … “The bottlenecks that we tend to see at companies are not in the hands-on keyboard time; [it] is in the time waiting for the test to pass or fail, or for a build or deploy that won’t happen for another two to three days,” explained Murphey.

Again. The bottleneck was never writing “Hello world”. AI DOES help you synthesize documentation faster. But it doesn’t replace the SDLC.
