AI Writes Code Faster Than Ever — Software Still Ships at the Same Old Pace

Per InfoQ, a new industry report confirms what engineering teams have been grumbling about for months: AI assistants like Copilot and Cursor make writing code dramatically faster, but they aren't speeding up how quickly software actually ships.
The bottleneck has simply moved downstream — to code review, testing, security checks, and the organizational coordination required to get a change approved and deployed. None of that is something an AI coding assistant touches, no matter how fast it generates a pull request.
The takeaway for engineering leaders is blunt: speeding up the IDE without redesigning the rest of the pipeline just means a bigger backlog sitting in front of slower humans. The productivity gains are real — they're just trapped behind every step that was never autocomplete to begin with.
