Eric Schmidt-backed Augment, a GitHub Copilot rival, launches out of stealth with $252M

In a recent StackOverflow poll, 44% of software engineers said that they use AI tools as part of their development processes now and 26% plan to soon. Gartner estimates that over half of organizations are currently piloting or have already deployed AI-driven coding assistants, and that 75% of developers will use coding assistants in some form by 2028. Ex-Microsoft software developer Igor Ostrovsky believes that soon, there won't be a developer who doesn't use AI in their workflows.
