AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software

AI coding assistants are dramatically increasing the volume of code developers produce, but that output is not translating into more finished software products, according to a new report. The piece argues that generating code quickly is only one small part of building software, and that bottlenecks in design, testing, integration and maintenance remain largely unsolved. Readers are debating whether AI agents shift where engineering effort goes rather than removing it.

Why now: It challenges the widespread assumption that AI coding tools are automatically boosting software productivity.
