In this episode of ShipTalk, host Dewan Ahmed sits down with Adeeb Valiulla, a leader in developer productivity and engineering excellence at Harness, to explore how AI is transforming the very definition of software productivity.
Adeeb shares his journey from building early engineering metrics systems at Sensormatic to leading developer efficiency initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Together, they unpack how AI is changing what it means to be “productive” — from measuring outcomes instead of outputs, to ensuring governance, trust, and quality at AI scale.
If you’ve ever wondered how frameworks like DORA, SPACE, and Flow adapt in an AI-driven world, or how to separate “AI-powered” hype from truly “AI-driven” value, this conversation is for you.
