Early AI Tools Yet to Deliver Major Gains for Developers; Top Teams Focus on Users, Culture, Docs and Fairness

Early AI tools have not yet delivered major boosts to developer productivity or job satisfaction. Adoption is still in early stages.

Top-performing teams focus on users, establish positive culture, maintain documentation, distribute work fairly, and leverage cloud flexibility.

Women and underrepresented groups take on more repetitive work than men.

Using public cloud infrastructure leads to greater flexibility and better performance.

Developers work in teams, not isolation. AI is not yet a differentiator for software teams.
