Dave Farley - Continuous Delivery: We Studied 150 Developers Using AI (Here’s What's Actually Changed...)

Ever wonder if AI coding tools like Copilot are truly making software better, or just faster? This deep dive explores research with 150 developers, looking beyond the initial output to the nitty-gritty of long-term maintainability. It tackles how AI-generated code affects real human developers who later have to understand, refactor, and maintain it.

Spoiler alert: it's less about AI vs. human and more about solid engineering smarts. The article stresses that design thinking, maintainability, and overall discipline are key. AI can totally amplify good practices—or accidentally turbocharge the not-so-good ones—so focusing on quality engineering remains crucial.
