AI Writes Code Faster — So Why Aren't We Shipping Faster?
kristiyanstoyanovAI · reddit · 2026-10-12
A Reddit discussion on why faster AI coding hasn't translated into faster delivery. The author argues the bottleneck has shifted to the whole delivery pipeline and proposes: aggressively automate CI and validation (functional/e2e/perf), build trust in agent-generated code instead of re-verifying manually, calibrate scrutiny to component criticality (even dropping code reviews where they add friction), and measure progress via complexity-weighted PR throughput, merge-to-production time, and incident/rework counts.
