Developer survey from Sonar finds AI tool adoption has created a verification bottleneck

Talk about letting things go! Ninety-six percent of software developers believe AI-generated code isn't functionally correct, yet only 48 percent say they always check code generated with AI assistance before committing it.

This conveniently self-validating statistic comes from Sonar, a company that sells code review and verification software, in its State of Code Developer Survey.

Based on data from more than 1,100 developers worldwide, the survey finds that AI coding tools have become the norm, with 72 percent of developers who have tried these tools using them every day or multiple times a day. And only six percent report occasional usage, meaning less than once a week.

Devs say 42 percent of their code includes significant assistance from AI models, a share they expect will reach 65 percent by 2027, up from just six percent in 2023.

That's because the vibe maxis tell you to not read it. haha

I've been using ChatGPT and Claude to learn Rust and do some front-end stuff with Shadcn/Tailwind. I check and try to understand all the Rust code, because I'm trying to actually learn how the language works. But something like Shadcn (without any AI) scaffolds components with hundreds of lines out of the box.

Even if you take AI out of the picture, there's no way I'm reading every single CSS class and bit of markup (Tailwind is very verbose). I go in and edit things when the front-end doesn't look right
