💻 The AI Paradox: Developers feel speed, but lose productivity
A METR study revealed that using AI gives developers a subjective sense of acceleration by 20%, even though actual work speed decreases by 19%. This occurs because the bottleneck shifts from writing code to verifying it.
🌍 Companies may face false productivity metrics. An increase in code volume via AI does not equal an increase in efficiency. The bottleneck is shifting toward Code Review.
👤 The feeling of "magic" from AI assistants can be deceptive. Professionals must focus on the depth of code verification to avoid the trap of "fast but low-quality" writing.
