We're running a paid study on the evolving landscape of AI-assisted software engineering. The goal is to understand how modern code generation tools fit into everyday development workflows. Your insights will help us map the current state of developer productivity and tool adoption.
How It WorksYou will join a remote video call to walk us through your typical programming environment. We will ask you to share examples of how you integrate code assistants into your daily tasks. You will also discuss the strengths and limitations of the specific models you rely on. The conversation will focus heavily on practical use cases, debugging habits, and prompt strategies.
Who This Is ForWe are looking for software engineers, developers, and technical leads who actively write code. You must have hands-on experience using modern AI assistants, such as Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor. We welcome backend, frontend, full-stack, and mobile developers across all tech stacks.
