Has anyone had any success with evaluating the impact of using Generative AI tools such as GitHub's Copilot on the productivity or performance impact on developers? I see a lot of qualitative discussions about how developers say they are more productive, but how are you measuring that impact?

AI Coding Assistants: Velocity or Vulnerability?

Latest research reveals a hidden feedback loop threatening software security:
The Evidence: • ≈33% of Copilot suggestions echo CWE Top-25 flaws (Asare et al., 2024) • ~50% of LLM code snippets contain exploitable bugs (CSET, 2024) • Developers with AI help feel more confident while shipping less secure code (Stanford, 2023)
The Systemic Risk: Flawed AI output is pushed to public repositories, polluting the next model's training data—risk compounding with every release cycle.

What leading teams are doing this quarter:
1. Audit AI-tool usage and establish approved lists
2. Insert AI-aware SAST (e.g., Snyk Code, Semgrep Assistant) into IDEs and CI/CD pipelines
3. Adopt OWASP LLM Top 10 + MAESTRO for threat modeling
4. Track percentage of AI-generated code and its defect rates

Question: How are you measuring AI-generated technical debt today, and what is your plan to stop it from becoming tomorrow's supply-chain crisis?
