Can AI actually double developer productivity?

This post details how Glean's integration with tools like GitHub Copilot and its own code search capabilities contribute to doubling developer productivity. It quantifies the time savings from code generation tools (approx. 1 hour) and Glean's contextual search and automation features (approx. 1.5 hours), totaling 2.5 hours of reclaimed productive coding time. It emphasizes that the real gains come from removing friction across the entire development workflow, not just accelerating code writing. The post also discusses the qualitative benefits of this productivity boost, such as writing higher-quality code, growing developer skills, creating more innovative products, and building happier teams.
