We caution readers against overgeneralizing on the basis of our results. The slowdown we observe does not imply that current AI tools do not often improve developer’s productivity—we find evidence that the high developer familiarity with repositories and the size and maturity of the repositories both contribute to the observed slowdown, and these factors do not apply in many software development settings. For example, our results are consistent with small greenfield projects or development in unfamiliar codebases seeing substantial speedup from AI assistance.
