Wow these are extremely interesting results, specially this part:

> This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

I wonder what could explain such large difference between estimation/experience vs reality, any ideas?

Maybe our brains are measuring mental effort and distorting our experience of time?

It’s funny cause I sometimes have the opposite experience. I tried to use Claude code today to make a demo app to show off a small library I’m working on. I needed it to set up some very boilerplatey example app stuff.

It was fun to watch, it’s super polished and sci-fi-esque. But after 15 minutes I felt braindead and was bored out of my mind lol
