Over the past 6 months, Replit's engineers have nearly tripled their code output, while code review times remained flat and rollback rates did not worsen. The author argues that such shifts indicate AI is fundamentally rewriting the productivity curve of engineering teams, rather than just optimizing isolated tasks.
