Something’s off.A study reports more code, commits, and pull requests after firms introduced AI coding agents. Yet tracked software-issue and larger-feature resolution rates did not change significantly.
The reported mismatch was downstream: the average time from a pull request’s submission to its merge rose 49 percent, while more pull requests reportedly needed changes and attracted more review comments. The study attributes the apparent bottleneck to human review, suggesting that faster code generation can shift work rather than speed delivery.
