Hook: The hidden productivity drain AI code assistants can recover up to a third of a developer’s day lost to tool-switching, turning idle minutes into deployable code. A 2023 State of DevOps report found that high-performing teams spend 30% less time hopping between terminals, documentation sites, and chat tools,
