Information about the requested update

Module: Introduction to GitHub Copilot (wasn't listed on the dropdown). Unit: 2 of 6.

In the lesson, it is said:

In recent research, GitHub and Microsoft have found that developers experience a significant productivity boost when working on real-world projects and tasks when using GitHub Copilot. In fact, in less than two years since its launch, developers have experienced the following while using GitHub Copilot: 46% of new code is now written by AI 55% faster overall developer productivity 74% of developers feel more focused on satisfying work

It would be nice to know what studies were considered to consolidate those statistics.

Just found out this MS 365 article which links to this GitHub blog and ultimately, this paper. Maybe add this info as a link in the lesson?
