  • Planning your 2026 AI tooling budget: guidance for engineering leaders
    In this episode of Engineering Enablement, Laura Tacho and Abi Noda discuss how engineering leaders can plan their 2026 AI budgets effectively amid rapid change and rising costs. Drawing on data from DX’s recent poll and industry benchmarks, they explore how much organizations should expect to spend per developer, how to allocate budgets across AI tools, and how to balance innovation with cost control.Laura and Abi also share practical insights on building a multi-vendor strategy, evaluating ROI through the right metrics, and ensuring continuous measurement before and after adoption. They discuss how to communicate AI’s value to executives, avoid the trap of cost-cutting narratives, and invest in enablement and training to make adoption stick.Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda  • Substack: ​​https://substack.com/@abinoda  Where to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura’s course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact): https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro: Setting the stage for AI budgeting in 2026(01:45) Results from DX’s AI spending poll and early trends(03:30) How companies are currently spending and what to watch in 2026(04:52) Why clear definitions for AI tools matter and how Laura and Abi think about them(07:12) The entry point for 2026 AI tooling budgets and emerging spending patterns(10:14) Why 2026 is the year to prove ROI on AI investments(11:10) How organizations should approach AI budgeting and allocation(15:08) Best practices for managing AI vendors and enterprise licensing(17:02) How to define and choose metrics before and after adopting AI tools(19:30) How to identify bottlenecks and AI use cases with the highest ROI(21:58) Key considerations for AI budgeting (25:10) Why AI investments are about competitiveness, not cost-cutting(27:19) How to use the right language to build trust and executive buy-in(28:18) Why training and enablement are essential parts of AI investment(31:40) How AI add-ons may increase your tool costs(32:47) Why custom and fine-tuned models aren’t relevant for most companies today(34:00) The tradeoffs between stipend models and enterprise AI licensesReferenced:DX Core 4 Productivity FrameworkMeasuring AI code assistants and agents2025 State of AI Report: The Builder's PlaybookGitHub Copilot · Your AI pair programmerCursorGleanClaude CodeChatGPTWindsurfTrack Claude Code adoption, impact, and ROI, directly in DXMeasuring AI code assistants and agents with the AI Measurement FrameworkDriving enterprise-wide AI tool adoptionSentryPoolside

  • Driving enterprise-wide AI tool adoption
    In this episode of Engineering Enablement, host Laura Tacho talks with Bruno Passos, Product Lead for Developer Experience at Booking.com, about how the company is rolling out AI tools across a 3,000-person engineering team.Bruno shares how Booking.com set ambitious innovation goals, why cultural change mattered as much as technology, and the education practices that turned hesitant developers into daily users. He also reflects on the early barriers, from low adoption and knowledge gaps to procurement hurdles, and explains the interventions that worked, including learning paths, hackathon-style workshops, Slack communities, and centralized procurement. The result is that Booking.com now sits in the top 25 percent of companies for AI adoption.Where to find Bruno Passos:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brpassos/• X: https://x.com/brunopassosWhere to find Laura Tacho:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura’s course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact) https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:09) Bruno’s role at Booking.com and an overview of the business (02:19) Booking.com’s goals when introducing AI tooling(03:26) Why Booking.com made such an ambitious innovation ratio goal (06:46) The beginning of Booking.com’s journey with AI(08:54) Why the initial adoption of Cody was low(13:17) How education and enablement fueled adoption(15:48) The importance of a top-down cultural change for AI adoption(17:38) The ongoing journey of determining the right metrics(21:44) Measuring the longer-term impact of AI (27:04) How Booking.com solved internal bottlenecks to testing new tools(32:10) Booking.com’s framework for evaluating new tools(35:50) The state of adoption at Booking.com and efforts to expand AI use(37:07) What’s still undetermined about AI’s impact on PR/MR quality(39:48) How Booking.com is addressing lagging adoption and monitoring churn(43:24) How Booking.com’s Slack community lowers friction for questions and support(44:35) Closing thoughts on what’s next for Booking.com’s AI planReferenced:Measuring AI code assistants and agentsDX Core 4 FrameworkBooking.comSourcegraph SearchCody | AI coding assistant from SourcegraphGreyson Junggren - DX | LinkedIn

  • Measuring AI code assistants and agents with the AI Measurement Framework
    In this episode of Engineering Enablement, DX CTO Laura Tacho and CEO Abi Noda break down how to measure developer productivity in the age of AI using DX’s AI Measurement Framework. Drawing on research with industry leaders, vendors, and hundreds of organizations, they explain how to move beyond vendor hype and headlines to make data-driven decisions about AI adoption.They cover why some fundamentals of productivity measurement remain constant, the pitfalls of over-relying on flawed metrics like acceptance rate, and how to track AI’s real impact across utilization, quality, and cost. The conversation also explores measuring agentic workflows, expanding the definition of “developer” to include new AI-enabled contributors, and avoiding second-order effects like technical debt and slowed PR throughput.Whether you’re rolling out AI coding tools, experimenting with autonomous agents, or just trying to separate signal from noise, this episode offers a practical roadmap for understanding AI’s role in your organization—and ensuring it delivers sustainable, long-term gains.Where to find Laura Tacho:• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• Website: https://lauratacho.com/Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda • Substack: ​​https://substack.com/@abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:26) The challenge of measuring developer productivity in the AI age(04:17) Measuring productivity in the AI era — what stays the same and what changes(07:25) How to use DX’s AI Measurement Framework (13:10) Measuring AI’s true impact from adoption rates to long-term quality and maintainability(16:31) Why acceptance rate is flawed — and DX’s approach to tracking AI-authored code(18:25) Three ways to gather measurement data(21:55) How Google measures time savings and why self-reported data is misleading(24:25) How to measure agentic workflows and a case for expanding the definition of developer(28:50) A case for not overemphasizing AI’s role(30:31) Measuring second-order effects (32:26) Audience Q&A: applying metrics in practice(36:45) Wrap up: best practices for rollout and communication Referenced:DX Core 4 Productivity FrameworkMeasuring AI code assistants and agentsAI is making Google engineers 10% more productive, says Sundar Pichai - Business Insider
