I have had similar experiences as you, but this is not the kind of work that the study is talking about:
“When open source developers working in codebases that they are deeply familiar with use AI tools to complete a task, they take longer to complete that task”
I have anecdotally found this to be true as well, that an LLM greatly accelerates my ramp up time in a new codebase, but then actually leads me astray once I am familiar with the project.
