Research @ https://t.co/zYIIy67pw9 What do you estimate the real productivity gain is so far? We have a guess, but curious if anyone else dares quantify theirs first? πΏ

This weekend we released a video showing how our new Snap Changelogs are built to help #githubsponsors #opensource. Maybe something @github would like to offer to their new Sponsors?

Stack Overflow's latest feature blog, on our pull request research. Did you know GitHub's (and everyone else's) default PR/diffing tool was born when Michael Jackson and Madonna topped the charts?

2-3x per year I catch "programming fever" and get sucked into a 10-15 day hole where all my brain has cycles for is finishing a hard dev problem. Esp when the hard problem doesn't have a visual component, @gitclear's commit graph affirms progress, and incrementally motivates.

It might take a few days until we have time to take screenshots and post documentation, but that is coming in the next week.

Incremental file diffs for PRs now live π This means that when you review a PR, and subsequent work is committed, you will only see the changes to each file since you last reviewed. You can switch to see all changes if desired. Weirdly, we might be first to offer this?

An especially thoughtful and well-sourced analysis of the impact of AI on code quality https://t.co/om97vhMr30 "Itβs important that developers using this technology are critically evaluating AI-generated code," indeed.

AI assistants are changing the way code gets made, and much of this is for the better. But what's the impact on code quality?

One shortcoming of our research (fairly pointed out by @github), is that we couldn't directly measure which code was AI-authored, we could only assess the temporal correlation. If GH would like to collab to study AI code quality directly, we're game! We'll admit if we were wrong.

Wow, numerous sites reporting on our recent research π€© https://t.co/rcwwoVLqHD
https://t.co/tacZVkVy6J Seems like there is a lot of interest in how code quality is changing during the age of AI. What should we research next?
