Despite increased investment in AI tooling and higher commit volumes, many engineering teams are experiencing a slowdown in actual product releases. Reports indicate that while feature branch throughput has increased, main branch throughput has declined, widening the gap between teams with robust delivery systems and those without. The bottleneck has shifted from code writing to downstream processes like code review and testing, as AI-generated code still requires thorough vetting, and the skill of knowing what is worth building and safe to ship has become paramount.
