    2x the power users: How structured AI training scaled developer productivity

    Indeed increased AI coding tool adoption from roughly 25% to 97% across its engineering organization, but getting engineers to use the tools was only part of the challenge. In this session from DX Annual, Michael Redding, Principal Product Manager, and Jeff Davis, VP of Core Infrastructure at Indeed, explain how the company used structured training, leadership support, and ongoing community engagement to help more than 2,000 engineers build practical AI skills. They share why an early train-the-trainer model fell short, how they redesigned their approach around hands-on learning, and what they learned about balancing adoption, measurement, and psychological safety. They also discuss the impact of the program on coding time, the role of continuous enablement after formal training ended, and how Indeed is preparing for the next phase of AI adoption, including agentic workflows and AI-powered coaching.

    AI and engineering productivity: Debating the headlines

    In this closing panel from DX Annual, Rafe Colburn, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Etsy; Jesse Adametz, Senior Director of Engineering, Platform Engineering at Twilio; Eirini Kalliamvakou, Research Advisor at GitHub; Collin Green, Senior Staff UX Researcher at Google; and Brian Houck, Senior Principal Applied Scientist at Microsoft debate some of the biggest questions surrounding AI and engineering productivity. They discuss whether AI will reduce the need for engineers, how AI is affecting technical debt, the future role of software engineers in an agentic world, and whether organizations should mandate AI adoption. They also explore how bottlenecks are shifting across the software development lifecycle, the challenges facing junior engineers, and why learning, culture, and change management may ultimately matter more than the tools themselves.

    From PR throughput to product velocity: How Dropbox is rethinking productivity in the agentic era

    In this session from DX Annual, Uma Namasivayam, Senior Director of Engineering Productivity at Dropbox, shares how the company's developer productivity efforts evolved from improving developer experience to preparing for the agentic era. He explains how Dropbox approached AI adoption across its engineering organization, the impact it had on developer productivity, and why faster code generation is creating new bottlenecks in areas such as code review, validation, and CI/CD. He also discusses Dropbox's efforts to rethink engineering systems, measurement, and workflows, including the development of agentic tooling and new metrics designed to move beyond PR throughput and toward product velocity.

    Beyond the CLI: Agentic AI for async workloads and non-developers

    In this session from DX Annual, Christopher Sanson, Product Lead, AI Developer Experience, and Madison Capps, Engineering Manager, Infrastructure at Airbnb, challenge some of the most common assumptions about AI. Is AI primarily about replacing humans? Do organizations need mandates to drive adoption? And are the productivity gains really as small as some studies suggest? Using examples from Airbnb's own AI journey, they share how the company achieved widespread adoption of agentic AI through AirChat, community enablement, and internal tooling rather than top-down mandates. They also discuss the impact AI is having on developer productivity, how non-developers are increasingly using coding tools, and how teams are rethinking product development in an AI-first world. Finally, Madison takes a deeper look at the infrastructure powering Airbnb’s AI strategy, including AirChat CLI, the AirChat SDK, and AirChat Remote, along with the company’s vision for asynchronous agent workflows and the next generation of AI-powered development.

    Uber’s journey of measuring AI impact on developer productivity

    As AI becomes embedded in software development, many of the metrics that engineering organizations have relied on for years are starting to break down. In this session from DX Annual, Uber's Ty Smith and Abhishek Tibrewal share how their approach to measuring AI's impact on developer productivity has evolved over time. They walk through the different phases of their measurement journey, from adoption and engagement to measuring impact, ROI, and agentic value, explaining what they chose to measure at each stage, what worked, what failed, and how their thinking changed along the way. They also discuss the role of qualitative feedback before telemetry existed, the challenge of identifying meaningful engagement signals, why "developer years saved" failed as an ROI metric, and how AI agents forced them to rethink traditional productivity measurements. Finally, they introduce Uber's emerging framework built around feature velocity and explore the unanswered questions that remain as software development becomes increasingly agent-driven.

    Augmented, accelerated, autonomized: How Vanguard is embedding AI across the product lifecycle (Kelly Anne Pipe and Nicole Scribner)

    Kelly Anne Pipe is Head of Developer Experience at Vanguard, and Nicole Scribner is a Director in the firm's Chief Technology Office focused on engineering enablement and advancement. In this session from DX Annual, Kelly Anne and Nicole share how Vanguard is expanding its AI strategy beyond software engineering to the entire product development lifecycle. While the company initially focused on tools like GitHub Copilot for engineers, they found that faster coding alone did not significantly improve delivery speed. Product managers, designers, QA teams, and organizational processes were still operating at a different pace. To address this challenge, Vanguard developed a product team maturity model built around three stages: Augmented, Accelerated, and Autonomized. The framework spans six dimensions, from AI-powered delivery and AI-ready codebases to team autonomy, operations, and responsible AI. Kelly Anne and Nicole explain how Vanguard is applying the model across more than 800 product teams, the behaviors they believe will enable faster delivery, and the lessons they have learned about measurement, organizational change, dependencies, and scaling AI across the product development lifecycle. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (02:16) The state of AI one year ago at Vanguard (02:54) The engineering bubble (05:05) Building an AI maturity model for 800 product teams (08:24) Dimension 1: AI-powered product delivery (10:00) Dimension 2: AI-ready codebase (12:20) Dimension 3: Autonomous agent utilization  (13:00) Dimension 4: AI-augmented operations (14:00) Dimension 5: Team autonomy and enablement (16:11) Dimension 6: Responsible AI (18:15) The people problem: role evolution  (20:00) The measurement problem  (22:55) Lessons learned from rolling out the maturity model  (26:46) What’s ahead  (30:10) Q&A #1: Getting your codebase ready for AI (32:22) Q&A #2: Audit trails and responsible AI (34:16) Q&A #3: Vanguard's maturity model progress (36:15) Q&A #4: Measuring cycle time across 800 teams Referenced: • Vanguard • Jennifer St Pierre - Dell Technologies | LinkedIn • Mercari

    Doubling the productivity of your engineering team using AI (Brian Scanlan)

    Brian Scanlan is a Senior Principal Systems Engineer at Intercom, where he works on platform engineering, developer productivity, and AI adoption across the company. In this session from DX Annual, Brian shares how Intercom set out to double engineering throughput and ultimately achieved that goal in nine months. Rather than treating AI as an optional productivity tool, the company standardized on Claude Code, updated performance expectations, invested heavily in enablement, and adopted an agent-first approach to technical work. Brian explains why Intercom views Claude Code as a platform rather than a tool, how the company is building domain-specific skills and workflows for agents, and why it believes agents should eventually be able to perform any technical task a senior engineer can complete on a laptop. He also shares the data behind Intercom's AI adoption efforts, including gains in throughput, reductions in defect backlogs, improvements in code quality, and the growing use of automated pull request approvals. Throughout the talk, Brian offers a practical look at what it takes to scale AI adoption across a large engineering organization and the lessons Intercom has learned along the way.
