Cardano Founder Says AI Proliferation Renders Developer Count Metric Meaningless

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has claimed that the proliferation of AI coding tools has rendered the 'developer count' metric meaningless for evaluating the growth potential of the blockchain ecosystem. Speaking on a recent broadcast, he stated, 'Anyone can now act like a developer using AI without technical knowledge or experience,' stressing that projects should be assessed based on tangible outcomes such as paying users and external investment rather than mere developer numbers.
