Study finds human review bottleneck eats AI coding gains

Original: Study on AI coding agents finds gains "absorbed" by human review "bottleneck."

A new study reported by Ars Technica finds that AI coding agents do generate more code, but teams do not ship more software, because the gains are absorbed by a human review bottleneck. The findings suggest that developer time spent reviewing and validating machine-written code limits overall productivity improvements.

Why now: It challenges the widespread assumption that AI coding tools automatically make software teams more productive.
