Ask HN: Academic study on AI's impact on software development – want to join?

24 pointsby research2026today at 4:57 PM11 commentsview on HN

Would you like to participate in a study on AI’s impact on software development? We are researchers at New York University and City, University of London conducting an interview study on how new AI tools are changing the work of software developers. We are looking to speak with developers of all seniority levels, including those in leadership roles, who can share their experiences and perspectives on using (or choosing not to use) AI in their day-to-day work.

Interviews will last 45 to 60 minutes and take place via Zoom. Participants will be asked about their workflow, AI tool usage, and how their role has evolved over time. All responses will be kept confidential and used for academic research purposes only. Research participants need to be based in the U.S.

If interested, please fill out this brief form so that we can contact you: https://nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cHkvoczxgtaLLo2

Thank you!

How would this self-selecting study be representative? It will be swarmed by paid AI shills.

The anti-AI people are already weary by having to contradict the $trillion industry, so they might skip this particular battlefield.
