Don’t go off vibes: data on how AI is changing software development

​Join Stephen Poletto, CTO of Span, for a real look at how AI is reshaping the entire software development lifecycle.

Stephen will share early data and real-world observations on why traditional metrics like lines of code and pull request counts fall short—and how teams that optimize for speed alone often create new problems in review load, quality, and product outcomes.

This talk is for engineering leaders and product-minded developers who want to understand what “productivity” really means in an AI-augmented world—and how to optimize for outcomes, not just output.
