Measuring the Impact of AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 18:29:18

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower. We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI accel

Superman Movies, Ranked

By that math, we may be in for many, many more Superman movies over the next few decades. So, before that does or doesn’t happen, we thought it would be time to put them up against each other.

Scientists from the University of Florida (UF) and Texas A&M University led the study, published Monday in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
