Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
This article presents findings from a HAX team mixed-method study on how AI coding assistants are reshaping developer workflows. The key insight is that AI tools redistribute and reshape developers' workflows in ways that often go unnoticed by the developers themselves. While developers report increased productivity and reduced time on certain tasks, the study reveals deeper, less visible transformations in how work is structured and executed.
