Timeline (last 90 days)
Ford's Anise Davis used the metaphor of a "highway traffic jam" to describe it: after AI accelerates coding, the delivery chain does not get proportionally faster, the bottleneck shifts downstream, and many friction points have nothing to do with code or technology but are process and people problems.
Ford's Anise Davis revealed that after a year of large-scale experimentation, Ford began imposing token limits on developers starting in September of that year, accompanied by a usage dashboard to help developers understand what a "healthy session" is.
Anise Davis emphasized the continuity of learning: if a team spends a week learning the latest tools and then does not keep up for a year, it will fall seriously behind, and the team is "building the plane while flying it."
