Abstract

AI coding assistants are accelerating how fast we can write code, but writing code is only one step in the SDLC. If we optimize the art of writing code without uplifting everything ahead and behind the fun part of a developer's job, we will see all new productivity bottlenecks appearing in tasks like product design, story creation, peer reviews, testing, deployment, etc. Only by intelligently embedding AI and investing in automation across the full end-to-end SDLC workflow will we realize true developer productivity and quality at scale.
