Research Behind This Calculator

GitHub Copilot: GitHub's 2022 study found developers completed tasks 55% faster with Copilot, with the largest gains on repetitive tasks.

Developer time split: Studies show developers spend only ~45% of their time actually writing code. The rest goes to meetings, reviews, and communication.

Task complexity: AI tools show the highest gains on boilerplate code (tests, CRUD operations) and lower gains on complex architectural work, per multiple industry surveys.
