Code Understanding is a Bottleneck for Coding Agents

Repository benchmarks (e.g., SWE-bench) for coding agents often assume that lines of code edited can predict task difficulty, but such datasets'poor control over code and task types makes it hard to know which abilities truly drive agent errors. We present CABRA: a Coding Ability Blueprint for Rigorous Agent evaluation...

(Im)Paired Programming: Coding Agents Improve Productivity but Harm Understanding

While agents aid initial task completion, they harm users' code comprehension and thus do not prepare users to extend their code, and low-effort agent interaction types, like copy+paste prompts and auto-accepted edits, are linked with lower comprehension.
