I have to wonder how much of that is "new" code and how much is just maintenance code

This company should be splintered asunder into a million pieces.

Is that why Google search is useless now?

I had the same thought. Without context it's hard to read into what 25% means of new development means. For some projects we maintain dependabot probably does 50+% of the new code development and the PRs are reviewed by the code owners, but that's not the same as new feature/bug fix development.

AI is good for boiler plate and specific repetitive tasks like database API's but using it for complex tasks is like adding a bloated sieve to your code.

No wonder why everything Google related runs like hot garbage lately.

25% sounds impressive I wonder how much is routine code vs. creative development. It could free up engineers to focus on high-level innovation, but there’s a risk for entry-level programmers if too much is automated.
