Gave my first talk en español at the Mexico City #wordpress meetup on Saturday. 90 mins of pure Spanish, what a workout!

So glad I connected with this community, made some great friends already and it's awesome to shoot the 💩 with fellow nerds.

@jos Very funny you just followed me. At this very moment I am wresting with my Dreamhost account SFTP which refuses to work.

Doing so because they added a new limit on the web-based file manager so it can only go up to 1GB. For years I've used the web uploader for everything, but now I have a […]

In the year 2025 of the Common Era, if you don't have a Code of Conduct that requires people to not be sexists or bigots, you're on 2.9999 strikes in my book already.

Don't rely on unwritten rules. If you can't at least write down on paper "no bigots or misogynist shitheads allowed", then your […]

The Mexican government has proposed a new law banning all "vaping”, and it strikes me as one of the most misguided ideas I've heard in a while.

As this article points out, the cartels are already profiting enormously from black market tobacco+vaping. Outlawing vaping would just give them a […]

I'd like to send some scorn out to anyone that decides JSON should be used as a configuration format where humans create files made of JSON to store information.

Humans need comments in their code, simple as that. It's a tragedy that WordPress trapped itself for untold years ahead with JSON as […]

“Cursor leads to…a significant and persistent increase in static analysis warnings and code complexity…the increase in static analysis warnings and code complexity acts as a major factor causing long-term velocity slowdown”

Does AI-Assisted Coding Deliver? A Difference-in-Differences Study of Cursor's Impact on Software Projects
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the promise to revolutionize the field of software engineering. Among other things, LLM agents are rapidly gaining momentum in their application to software development, with practitioners claiming a multifold productivity increase after adoption. Yet, empirical evidence is lacking around these claims. In this paper, we estimate the causal effect of adopting a widely popular LLM agent assistant, namely Cursor, on development velocity and software quality. The estimation is enabled by a state-of-the-art difference-in-differences design comparing Cursor-adopting GitHub projects with a matched control group of similar GitHub projects that do not use Cursor. We find that the adoption of Cursor leads to a significant, large, but transient increase in project-level development velocity, along with a significant and persistent increase in static analysis warnings and code complexity. Further panel generalized method of moments estimation reveals that the increase in static analysis warnings and code complexity acts as a major factor causing long-term velocity slowdown. Our study carries implications for software engineering practitioners, LLM agent assistant designers, and researchers.

Coming back to a #wordpress site with a bunch of feature-bloated plugins like Jetpack and AIOSEOP, it's really striking how much AI bloatware is harming the experience for people who just want to create the old fashioned way.

There are now two DIFFERENT […]
