Faster and Lonelier: AI, Isolation, and the Erosion of Engineering Collaboration
AI makes individual engineers faster - and quietly more isolated.
As coding agents become everyone's default pair, the collaboration that keeps an org healthy erodes: pairing fades, context gets trapped in private chat histories, knowledge stops diffusing, teams drift into silos.
Velocity dashboards look great, so nothing seems wrong - until onboarding slows and bus-factor spikes.
This talk names the failure mode, explains why standard metrics miss it, and shows what leaders can do to keep teams connected as AI adoption accelerates.
