The Impact of AI on Developer Productivity: Evidence from GitHub Copilot.
Peng, Sida, et al. "The Impact of AI on Developer Productivity: Evidence from GitHub Copilot." arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.06590 (2023). https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2302.06590.
Why this matters here
Peng and coauthors report task-level productivity gains from GitHub Copilot in controlled settings, measuring authoring speed under AI assistance. Coupling accepts those empirical gains, then asks where they land in the wider system—review load, incidents, and ownership design—when authoring accelerates faster than the feedback loops that keep throughput from becoming deferred cost.
