What Your AI Tool Selection Says About You (Programmer Edition)
effective-programmer.comYou're missing the most common AI tool selection: none at all.
Every developer I know has _tried_ LLMs/agents for coding. But I don't know any developer actually _using_ them for programming. At most use them for generating diagrams for presentations.
I do know a fair few nontechnical managers who reach for them whenever they have to write some python to parse a json file.
ha! i did try to write something funny about that, but it got weird so i skipped it.
btw, joking aside, a lot of devs are writing code using AI, i am not sure if you are getting your data correctly. Here is one report that would help you catch up https://feed.priority.vision/github-copilot-usage-surpasses-...
co-pilot subscribers tells you nothing, because employees might be subscribed and even forced to use agentic coding tools against their will.
The statistics on that page are also not sourced, and there is no dataset available, or information about definitions (what the f is "code completion" or "popular repositories") or methods.
That page does not meet any standard for reporting statistics.
This is satire. Sort of.
