"According to one survey, the average developer spends close to 20% of their workweek maintaining existing code rather than writing anything new.
"In a separate study, companies said that excessive code maintenance (including addressing technical debt and fixing poorly performing code) costs them $85 billion per year in lost opportunities.
"And, for what it’s worth, consultants agree.
"In a 2023 report, analysts at McKinsey wrote that AI coding tools can enable developers to write new code in half the time and optimize existing code in roughly two-thirds the time.
"Now, a coding AI isn’t a silver bullet.
"The McKinsey report also found that certain, more complex workloads —like those requiring familiarity with a specific programming framework —didn’t necessarily benefit from AI. In fact, it took junior developers longer to finish some tasks with AI versus without, according to the report’s co-authors."
