Seven underappreciated wins include: converting Slack discussions directly into implementation, enabling non-engineers to submit reviewable PRs via AI agents, accelerating onboarding with codebase-aware Q&A, auto-generating documentation drafts, parallelizing maintenance backlogs, enabling cross-team changes without waiting in backlogs, and enforcing codebase conventions consistently through custom rules. These gains compound across the whole engineering system rather than just speeding up individual developers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
