Over the past few decades, there have been significant advancements in understanding and improving developer productivity. With the advent of artificial intelligence and increasing levels of automation to enhance collaboration, software bots, especially those with superhero powers, are poised to have a major impact on developer productivity and software quality. But what productivity means and how to measure it can seem elusive. In this talk, I present SPACE, a framework that captures the most important dimensions of developer productivity: satisfaction and well-being, performance, activity; communication and collaboration, and efficiency and flow. I will brainstorm how SPACE can help us understand the broad impact of bots across multiple dimensions of developer productivity and may reveal opportunities for bots to develop new superhero powers that may disrupt the future of software engineering.
