Don't let AI jeopardise developer experience
Discover how AI is reshaping the developer experience, the identity of the developer, and the future of software engineering—and how your organisation can get ahead
New research report: Changing developer realities
As engineering teams leverage AI across the software development lifecycle, they unlock new levels of productivity and scale.
But how is AI impacting the role of the developer, the skills they need, and the support they require—and what can leaders do to manage this shift?

About this report
Following our report Understanding the human cost of AI transformation, Changing developers realities examines the true impact of AI on development teams.
We asked 1,000 engineers across Europe and North America how AI is impacting their work.
We asked 1,000 engineers across Europe and North America how AI is impacting their work.
The report shares:
- What we found out
- What it means for organisations; and
- How business and engineering leaders can ensure that AI investment supports developer experience and delivers on business outcomes.
The 3 shifts no engineering leader can afford to ignore
We explore the gap between AI’s proven productivity gains and the conditions organisations are creating around its use
The DevEx(odus)
AI is making developers more productive, but poorly managed adoption risks creating a developer experience defined by pressure, speed, and reduced autonomy.
47% of developers say they are assessed on how much they use AI, rather than on the quality of their work
The new developer divide
AI adoption is fast becoming a talent development issue, with juniors getting less hands-on learning and mid-career devs the most pessimistic about AI’s impact on their progression.
70% of software engineers worry that junior developers are becoming overly reliant on automation
The age of agents
Most developers now treat AI agents as teammates, rather than tools, and run several at once. Managing them, however, adds overhead and governance risk.
68% of developers say that managing agents is becoming an explicit part of their daily role
