LUCAMEAmazon has told its developers to spend less time optimising how much they use AI tools and more time actually shipping useful software. The concern is that teams are getting caught up in metrics around AI usage rather than focusing on outcomes.
What this means for your business
If your business uses AI coding tools or has staff experimenting with AI assistants, it's worth asking whether they're spending more time tinkering with prompts and usage than getting work done. The honest question is whether AI is saving your team time on real tasks or just adding a new layer of distraction. Set expectations around outcomes, not around how much AI gets used.
