Why it matters
What is changing in engineering is not typing speed, it is the relationship between whoever produces and whoever answers for the result. An assistant can generate in minutes something nobody on the team fully understands, and that carries a cost that shows up in no productivity metric.
My yardstick is simple: did the time from request to working-in-production improve? If writing got faster but a change still takes three weeks to ship, the bottleneck was somewhere else and the tool never touched it.
What usually goes wrong
Where I see most stumbles is in the conversation with people. The tool gets announced as a productivity improvement without saying what is expected of each person, and everyone fills the silence with their own fear. Adoption does not stall on the technology, it stalls on what was left unsaid.
What to watch
- The effect on people newly joining the team, which is where judgement erodes fastest.
- Whether total time to production drops or only writing time, which is not the same thing.
- What happens to code review: if the assistant produces more, somebody has to read more.
How I read this entry
I would treat it as a process change, not a tool change. The assistant shifts who does what inside the team, and that has to be discussed with people beforehand, not discovered in the retrospective once somebody already felt replaced.
