The AI Ratchet Effect: Why Giving Your Engineering Team AI Tools Made Them Work Harder, Not Smarter

67% of engineers who adopted AI tools in 2025 worked more hours by year-end, not fewer. This is the AI ratchet effect: management converts every productivity gain into a permanently higher baseline. Here is how it happens, why it is worse at startups, and what a sustainable AI adoption cadence actually looks like.
