I enjoyed "old fashioned" hackathons, which you had 24h to build or play with some technology or API. It has lost its charm (for me)since it moved to be startup-ish like events that you need to pitch a product instead.
I think it will be considered a "blast from the past" at some point, due to the AI era we are getting into.
Some companies and OSS groups have a policy to inform if a patch's source code was AI generated, even if it was just parts of it. Committs messages are the "obvious place" to put it.
Honest question: Does anyone know about any quantitative study or analysis on productivity gains using code assistants? Asking for numbers comparing between the "pre AI era" and now.
Also, I have the impression that LLMs bring some gains or benefits for individuals but not relevant enough at the organization level.
