Summary

Linus Ekenstam discusses the gap between AI writing 75% of Google's new code and only 10% measured velocity gain, and how Sonar aims to close that gap.

Google says AI now writes over 75% of their new code. Their measured velocity gain? 10%. That gap is the biggest unsolved problem in software right now. I spent the past week digging into how Sonar is closing it. Here is what I found. 🧵 Sponsored by @SonarSource https://t.co/JZ36Zy6F31
