SummaryStudy surveying 56 professional developers and running 7 design sessions to identify desired configuration options for AI coding assistants. Researchers compiled 33 options across four categories; 72.6% of usefulness ratings were positive, with high demand for task controls like confidence thresholds and suggestion visibility.
Why it mattersMaps what experienced developers actually want to configure in AI coding tools, grounded in survey and design-session data rather than speculation. Useful for tool builders and practitioners selecting assistants.
