AI shifts software bottleneck from writing to proving code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The bottleneck in software development has shifted from code generation to code verification, as AI tools now produce code much faster than humans can review it. This increased volume of AI-generated code strains existing review processes, leading to a new constraint. To address this, developers are implementing automated gates for tool calls, plan approval, and gate health monitoring, moving complex verification tasks out of human attention and into deterministic systems. AI

    The Bottleneck Moved From Writing Code to Proving It

    <blockquote> <p>The bottleneck moved, and most teams haven't noticed. It isn't writing anymore. It's proving.</p> </blockquote> <p>I keep hearing the same soft complaint from engineers: "I spend more time reviewing AI code than I ever spent writing code myself." We tend to hear t…
