Everyone should take this with a huge grain of salt. Like all other internal company stat reports, it's bullshit and manufactured.
Example: my company has recently introduced a gate on CI. All commits must have "Co-Authored-By: X". Technically, you can set
X=None, but most people aren't doing that because we're not stupid and we know the commit history can easily be data mined and used to generate stats on who is or isn't using AI. And we don't want to get fired.Result: 99% of all new commits use "Co-Authored-By: Claude". Every commit I make now has "Co-Authored-By: Claude". Am I using AI? FUCK NO. But, now I have to add that stupid line to any work I turn in.
Remember that part in The Big Short where the stripper is talking about all the houses she owns? Similar vibes.
Stark reality. Thank you.
Can't you script it with a git hook?
