The AI Revolution: Why Outcomes, Not Output, Define a Great Dev Team

A recent article got me thinking about how we build high-performing dev teams in the age of AI.

We used to focus on output: lines of code written or pull requests opened, and then teams seem productivity. But we know a code assistant can pump out thousands of lines of code, and that can create more technical debt than value.

The real win in this new era is focusing on outcomes. To build a truly high-performing team, we need to shift our attention to:

• Building skills AI can't replicate, like critical thinking and ethical judgment.
• Giving teams room to experiment and fail, which leads to real innovation.

It's a mindset shift from "how fast did we go?" to "what lasting value did we create?"
