Not really surprising. Yeah, it might get you 80% of the way there, but we all know that reading someone else's code and finding the issues takes much, much longer than just building it ourselves. It tracks that the last 20% takes longer than expected.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Wild to revisit System Of A Down in 2025 and realise 1) they were absolutely spot on, and 2) things have only gotten much, much worse.
Also bonkers that their drummer turned into a MAGA tankie

I've seen a loooot of social media about the Fujifilm X Half but I've not seen a single decent photo taken by one yet.

Interfaces are your best friend. Put wrappers around third party code, especially for data requests. It will be an immense help for testing and for changing data sources over time.
