Forbes has published an article by Yuri Gubin, Chief Innovation Officer at DataArt, in which he discusses what it takes to make AI tools boost productivity, focusing not just on the tech but on how teams use it daily.
“After years of big talk about how AI would transform software development, many of the boldest claims have yet to materialize. Modern generative AI tools have been around for over four years, but some of the most important questions remain. Are they actually making developers more productive? Are they replacing roles or simply changing how the work gets done?”
“Engineering leaders understand that staying competitive means constantly learning. However, not every developer approaches change in the same way. Some embrace new tools quickly, others are more skeptical and a few may avoid them altogether. This is not a technical challenge; it is a people challenge.”
“The goal is not to force everyone into the same approach. Instead, leaders should create the right conditions for experimentation. Adoption tends to grow naturally when AI tools are used to solve real problems. Over time, this creates space for teams to deliver better results without burning out on repetitive work.”
