AI Amplifies Your Existing Practices: Lessons from Our Shift to an AI-First Strategy

In this two-part blog series, I give a detailed report-out on how our Honeycomb engineering team 2.5x-ed our throughput using AI without breaking everything or lowering our standards for quality. Part 1 explains how we did it and shows data about how that ramp-up happened. In this blog, I share what we learned.
