This is an example of someone who’s in deep denial and my New Year’s Resolution is not to debate productivity gains from using AI.

What was interesting is the comments are almost uniformly senior engineers with 10+ years of experience talking about how Claude Code debunks this thinking.

The hype is now reality when it comes to software engineering. The interesting discussion now is the ramifications.

@carnage4life prior to this past fall, I saw a number of studies, e.g. https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/ , that convincingly supported Verona's assertion. Since then I have seen growing numbers of coders say anecdotally that Claude Code refutes it, but I haven't seen any actual studies that speak to it; does anyone know of any?
