The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants

The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants

A July 2025 METR trial dropped a twist: seasoned devs using Cursor with Claude 3.5/3.7 moved 19% slower - while thinking they were 20% faster. Chalk it up to AI-induced confidence inflation. Faros AI tracked over 10,000 developers. More AI didn’t mean more done. It meant more juggling, more PRs, same velocity. Apiiro's 2024 report? Not subtle. Privilege escalation paths up 322%. Critical CVEs in AI-generated code? 2.5x higher.
