The State of AI in Software Development: Data from 400+ Orgs — Justin Reock, DX

Why watch

Justin Reock presents DX's research on AI adoption across ~200,000 engineers from 400+ organizations, revealing five key trends: deployment frequency rising but change failure rate becoming volatile; maintainability improving while change confidence declines; PR size growing from 44 to 72 lines; juniors using AI most but staff+ engineers more token-efficient; median PR throughput gains of only 7.7% because code generation was never the bottleneck. The video introduces the DX AI Measurement Framework for assessing AI utilization, impact, and cost, plus case studies showing Morgan Stanley saving 300K hours annually and Zapier achieving 15% more value per engineer.
