Don't Go Off Vibes Part 2: Data on how AI is changing software development
As AI reshapes the way engineering teams work, many organizations are still relying on outdated or misleading signals to measure productivity.
In this sequel session, we will:
revisit the pitfalls of proxy metrics — from PR counts to “token maxxing”
refresh our first-principles approach to understanding true engineering impact in the age of AI
share new stories and lessons from industry-leading organizations navigating different stages of AI maturity
explore how companies like Ramp, Intercom, and others are investing in their technical foundations, developer workflows, and organizational systems to responsibly scale AI leverage across engineering teams
Whether you joined us for the first session or are jumping in for the first time, this conversation will offer practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a grounded perspective on what engineering productivity should look like in an AI-native future.
