What counts as programming time ? Writing ? Reviewing ? Compiling ? Debugging ? It also depends the industry. From idea to production, the limiting factor is not always writing the code, and in my experience (15years in fintech) it almost has never been. Discussion, alignment, compilation, heavy testing pipelines, shipping, all of this on a 30million line monorepo. On a greenfield 10k line repo, yes, AI really shines. In other cases, it’s currently just a helper on very specific narrow tasks, that is not always programming.
