About this session

Headlines claim AI is transforming software engineering overnight. Across more than 400 engineering organizations, we see patterns that challenge the hype and reveal what's really working, and what isn't, when AI enters the software development lifecycle. In this talk, Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX, will share a data-driven "state of the union" on AI in engineering, grounded in both quantitative data from thousands of developers and on-the-ground observations. You'll learn: The current impact of AI, from benchmarks on the percentage of code authored, team PR throughput, and time savings Where AI adoption is creating real gains in throughput, and whether it introduces tradeoffs for quality and maintainability Insights and trends, including whether junior or senior developers are seeing bigger gains, the impact of structured rollouts, which tools are having the most impact, and the evolving definition of "developer" The session will conclude with a practical framework for measuring AI's impact, helping leaders cut through hype and understand the impact AI is having in their own organizations.
