Do not go gentle into that giant scrum meeting
Hey there,
AI is here to stay as part of your workflow. Why isn't it showing up in productivity numbers like public company earnings, GDP, or number of Jira tickets completed in a sprint?
It's a good question — my thoughts on it here: https://drew.tech/posts/dev-efficiency
tldr:
- Sandbagging
- AI often writes sub-senior eng quality code
- Large code diffs are hard to reason about
So what to do? Figure out how to get past these. Don't sandbag. Push AI to meet your quality bar with prompts, rules, tests. Ship a lot. Ship so much you're uncomfortable.
Do not go gentle into that giant scrum meeting.
