Why it matters

When a tool appears promising faster development, the useful question is not how much code it generates but how much work it generates downstream. Tests, review, security, technical debt, incidents: that is where the promise gets paid or charged.

I distinguish between accelerating an experienced developer and accelerating someone just starting. In the first case the tool multiplies judgement; in the second it multiplies the lack of it. Adoption policy has to acknowledge that difference or the codebase fills with plausible, wrong code.

What usually goes wrong

What usually goes wrong is that review does not grow at the same rate as production. The team generates twice as much and still has the same two people reviewing, who get tired, start approving faster, and three months later quality has dropped without any indicator showing it yet.

What to watch

  • Where the source code travels when the assistant is used, and what the contract says about it.
  • 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.

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.
