AI coding agents shift software bottleneck from production to verification

The increasing use of AI coding agents has shifted the bottleneck in software development from code production to code verification. As AI agents accelerate output, ensuring code quality and preventing bugs becomes more challenging. Practices like verifying outcomes through artifacts, employing multiple verification methods (combining AI code review with testing and security scans), and optimizing CI/CD pipelines by running expensive checks strategically are crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency in this new agentic era.
