It would be interesting to see another study focusing on cognitive load. Maybe the AI let's you offload some amount of thinking so you reserve that energy for things it's bad at. But I could see how that would potentially be a wash as you need to clearly specify your requirements in the prompt, which is a different cognitive load.

My velocity has taken an unreasonable rocket trajectory. Deploying internal tooling, agent creation, automation. I have teams/swarms that tackle so many things, and do it well. I understand there are issues, but learning how to use the tools is critical to improving performance, blindly expecting the tools to be sci-fi super coders is unrealistic.

I wish AI was never invented, but surely this isn't ture.

I've been able to solve coding issues that usually took me hours in minutes.

Wish it wasn't so, but it's been my reality

The experienced developers in the study believed they were 20% faster. There's a chance you also measured your efficiency more subjectively than you think you did.

I suspect that unless you were considerably more rigorous in testing your efficiency than they were, you might just be in a time flies when you're having fun kind of situation.
