The state of AI in software development: Insights across 400+ organizations

Official Schedule Context

Official Description

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.
