From Myth to Legend: How Generative AI Can Supercharge Productivity to Create 10x Developers

They discuss results using Generative AI for tasks like refactoring, maintaining tests, incident management, and documentation enhancement. Their analysis reveals that while Co-Pilot and other tools make developers feel more productive, they produce only an average of 1-2 lines of usable code.
