A recent study examined the impact of AI-assisted coding tools on perceived productivity, as measured against the dimensions of developer experience. This study examines the impact of AI-assisted coding tools through a Developer Experience (DevEx) lens, investigating GitHub Copilot and Windsurf adoption in a fintech organization over three months. Despite productivity gains, developers face validation burdens in prompting and output checking. S. C. Winckler, J. F. Ribeiro, L. Machado and J. Kroll, AI-Assisted Collaboration: Exploring Developer Experience with GitHub Copilot and Windsurf in IEEE Software, vol. 43, no. 04, pp. 38-46, July-Aug. 2026 Flow improved, cognitive load worsened.
