It's a weekly email with all the recently published software engineering conference talks. I also pick a few ones that are featured and write short TLDRs. This month, I'll should hit 10,000 readers, fingers crossed!

I think he tends to publish only once or twice a year, so we'll probably need to stay patient.

Ask HN: Do AI coding tools boost productivity in your company/team?

There was a Stanford talk I found via tech talks weekly earlier this year about how AI impacts developer productivity.

The takeaway was basically "it depends". Factors like greenfield vs. brownfield projects, mainstream/exotic tech stack, task complexity, and team maturity seem to matter a lot.

Now, I'm curious what you're seeing in practice. Does AI actually make your team(s) faster? Any concrete examples?
