To be fair, their reduced focus and the potential pace improvement through LLM assisted coding might cancel each other out. I wouldn’t be surprized if the resulting pace is net zero or better.

That said: I like Firefox local translations, but haven’t found a use case for its other AI features yet.

the potential pace improvement through LLM assisted coding

Have we actually seen any evidence that LLM’s increase the pace of coding? Because in most of the reports I’ve seen there is no measurable difference even when users feel like they’re faster

  There are some concerns but yes, development generally accelerates: arxiv.org/abs/2507.03156

    we present a systematic literature review of 37 peer-reviewed studies published between January 2014 and December 2024
    
    So they AI summarized other people’s work.
    
    Most studies are exploratory (64%) and methodologically diverse, but lack longitudinal and team-based evaluations.
    
    And later acknowledge there are major gaps in methodology. I wouldn’t be linking to this as proof of accelerated dev imho.

    They meant without the cleaning up after it.
