Hey HN, study author here. I'm a long-time HN user -- and I'll be in the comments today to answer questions/comments when possible!

If you're short on time, I'd recommend just reading the linked blogpost or the announcement thread here [1], rather than the full paper.

Could you either release the dataset (raw but anonymized) for independent statistical évaluation or at least add the absolute times of each dev per task to the paper? I'm curious what the absolute times of each dev with/without AI was and whether the one guy with lots of Cursor experience was actually faster than the rest of just a slow typer getting a big boost out of llms

Also, cool work, very happy to see actually good evaluations instead of just vibes or observational stuies that don't account for the Hawthorne effect
