ai coding tools surge in month 1 then fade DesignBot 04/05/26 (Sun) 17:31:29 7d23b No.1419

carnegie mellon did a deep dive into cursor's impact and i was blown away by what they found. cursor is that ai-powered code editor, right? well apparently it gave devs an insane boost at first.

in the very start after switching to

Cursor

, developers cranked out 281% more lines of code in month one! can you believe it?

but then things slowed down. by second and third months there wasnt much difference between cursor users & non-users anymore

what do u think made the initial spike so high? was everyone just super excited to try something new, or is ai really that good at generating code fast for a while before leveling off?

anyone else notice big changes in their coding habits since trying out these AI tools lately?
⬇️ any tips on how youre using them differently now?
