Yeah, I think there are two reasons for it.
By the way, the gap between the individual productivity versus the company level productivity, which is nascent in many situations.
At the employee level, most people will attest that they are getting back at least a few hours.
And what happens with that?
Either they just do whatever because the managers don't tell them what to do with the free time.
The best one will go to learn more or do more, but many will just grab their peers and grab more coffee, thereby creating even more waste than productivity.
So that's one problem that there isn't this clear communication.
The other is just a matter of shifting bottlenecks.
In code, it's very clear that while people are able to deliver more code quickly, the review of the code and the time it takes to review becomes the clear bottleneck.
And then when you look at the overarching productivity for a given team, it's not that significant.
So this is what I'm starting to see.
And by the way, the discussions are now starting to ramp up towards 2026 plan.
I'm hearing more and more organizations starting to say something along the lines like no more usage and playing with AI.
Now let's start tracking.
And when they're being serious about tracking, that's when these discussions of personal productivity versus team versus overall organizational benefits, what's the sources of all these gaps?
Yeah.
And it's also very expensive.
Like the companies that are willing to purchase multiple tools for their employees, that become like a significant cost uplift.
And then they go back to the ROI discussion and wonder whether they're getting it back.
One thing that I will say here is that whenever I'm talking to employees, they will always say, well, yeah, I tried it once and it didn't work.
