Description

In this episode of Humans of Reliability, we sit down with Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX, to unpack the real impact of generative AI on developer productivity. Drawing from early data in DX’s GenAI Impact Report, he explains why time savings alone don’t tell the full story and why the real value might lie in shifting cognitive load toward meaningful work. 

We also explore how traditional productivity metrics like PR throughput can backfire, why teams need to move beyond DORA, and how modern frameworks like SPACE and the DX Core 4 offer a more complete view of engineering health.
