Unfortunately, a convincing demonstration to convince a skeptical colleague would require measuring developer productivity.

Among skeptics, I've only seen people won over by using it themselves, because when they use AI for their own work, they invest the time to review the code, understand it, and assess its quality by their own standards. That's how people learn to trust AI coding assistance.

Perhaps amusingly, I think I actually trusted it more before I started using it. Specifically because of my assessment of its quality, including things like factual correctness.

There's only really one measure, ultimately, and that's profits. Are these heavy AI companies raking in 10x profits with their 10x'd developers?

THIS is exactly what I want to see. Show me 10 randomly selected “All in on AI” companies that are running circles around a control group of 10 randomly selected similar but traditional software development companies. Show the AI-using companies being measurably more profitable.
