Since our engineering team adopted Anthropic's Claude Code in June, we're shipping code to production over 50% faster.
Do AI coding tools make developers more productive or is it all hype? I think that's the wrong question. The real question is: do you have the foundation to use them well?
Teams with solid architecture, test harnesses, and reliable CI/CD are accelerating. Teams without those fundamentals are drowning in code they can't trust.
At Ren Systems, our engineering team spent years building those foundations, thanks to the hard work of people like Jan Giacomelli and Giorgio Nicoli. Now that investment is compounding.
Have AI coding tools made us 10x more productive? No. But we're shipping more, with confidence, and nobody's losing sleep. Features that used to take months now ship in days. Our Salesforce integration, on our sales team's wishlist for years, took one week to build.
AI coding tools don't replace good engineering. They amplify whatever's already there.
