Another thing that greatly improves productivity is not relying solely on AI to do your job for you.
Good devs don’t rely on it to do their job, but use it to do their job better and more productively.
As a dev, copilot is amazing.
My friend who uses Claude daily says it saves him a hell of a lot of time doing all the routine work, which he verifies. It's not AI's fault if devs are sloppy, or if non-devs think they can type "Create software" and go get coffee. I still remember some people around 1990 who similarly misunderstood object-oriented programming - like it meant drawing a box labeled "DoAccounting" and magic would happen.
It certainly saves time because of course plagiarism saves time. Does it mean people are doing their job better or more productively? Depends on how carefully they review that AI output, but I have a feeling that people aren't always so vigilant. That's where the technical debt creeps in.
Well good luck with the next few years of sprint planning. Shouldn't be long before the climate impacts really catches up to us.
