What makes engineers abandon AI tooling?
The tool creates more review work than it removes. If engineers cannot trust the output quickly, it becomes another queue.
Where should teams introduce AI first?
Start with low-risk, high-friction work like test scaffolding, documentation cleanup, migration drafts, and code search.
What is the biggest adoption signal?
When engineers use it without being asked. That usually means it fits their workflow instead of asking them to change everything.
