On small teams, AI feels like a big boost. On larger teams, it mostly just moves the work around.
We (12+ people on the team) see more LOC and faster first drafts, but also more review work. PRs look done early, but often hide shallow thinking or edge cases. Velocity goes up on paper. Review fatigue goes up too.
The best teams treat AI like a junior dev with infinite energy. Great for boilerplate and refactors, but you still need ownership. Otherwise you just ship bugs faster, which is not great honestly.
