The playbook to close your team’s AI productivity gap | LinearB’s Yishai Beeri

This week, LinearB CTO Yishai Beeri joins the show to unpack fresh mid-year benchmark data revealing a widening productivity gap between elite engineering teams and the rest of the industry. The conversation explores why tracking pure AI adoption is a trap, detailing how leaders must shift focus to measuring true leverage through metrics like PR yield rate and cost per PR. Finally, they break down why fully autonomous agentic workflows are currently bottlenecking at the review stage and how to establish human ownership to prove real ROI to your finance team.
