I'm curious what their sample set for this survey was, because "90% of software developers use AI, at a median of 2 hours a day" is more than I'd have expected.

(But maybe I'm out of touch!)

well, just assume it's an IDE with 'smarter' autosuggest.

That's fair -- the vibe of the post was making me think of the more "Claude, write a function to do X" style of development, but a bunch of people answering the survey with "oh yeah, Xcode added that new autocomplete didn't it?" would do a lot to get us to that kind of number.

		I’ve always assumed that’s the point of these things. Ask a broad question that will allow you to write a puffy blogpost that backs your conclusion and then write it in a way that pushes your tools. The amount of free training coming out on AI shows just how keen they are to push adoption to meet their targets. Eventually these training will no longer be free as they pivot to profit.
