A recent survey by Qodo reveals that while software developers recognize productivity gains from AI coding tools, many lack trust in their outputs. Although 82% of developers use these tools weekly and 78% report improvements, concerns over code quality persist. CEO Itamar Friedman notes that gains are not uniformly distributed, with only a minority of experienced developers, termed '10Xers', experiencing significant benefits, while others may struggle to effectively utilize the tools. A divide exists between contributors who feel more productive and tech leads who face pressure due to increasing code volumes.
Overall, we're seeing that AI coding is a big net positive, but the gains aren't evenly distributed. A small minority of power users see massive gains.
Individual contributors may feel 3x better because they're shipping more code, but tech leads, reviewers, and those responsible for code quality experience more pressure.
