AI coding tools are slowing developers down, not speeding them up, analysts find
DNyuz—Despite their promise, AI coding assistants are generating a hidden cost: workplace paralysis, where developers spend more time reviewing, correcting, and second-guessing AI output than they save by using it. The pattern is emerging across engineering teams as the initial productivity hype collides with real-world complexity. The findings complicate the narrative that AI will straightforwardly replace or dramatically accelerate software development.
