How is AI reshaping tech teams
summary
Stanford collaboration analyzes 50,000+ contributors and finds top 25% produce six times more output than bottom 25%, with AI widening that gap while junior developers gain more from AI than seniors. Real-world example: a hotel chain using a shared property management system forces multi-step checkins that could be a five-click process, driving teams toward bespoke builds. Rising output creates component entanglement and technical debt — bug fixes run four times slower in high-debt code — and Proxify offers productivity measurement services.
