AI makes developers 19% slower

AI makes developers 19% slower

The agent doesn't slow down. We do.

We generate code in seconds. Then we spend an hour reading what it wrote.

We trust the output less than we trust what we would write ourselves. So we read it twice. Sometimes three times.

The diff is bigger than we would have written. The tests cover things we did not ask for. The names drift across files.

So we clean it up. And while we're cleaning, the next prompt is already queued.

Here's what nobody warned us about: the bottleneck didn't disappear. It moved. Off of writing. On to reviewing. Testing. Deploying. Understanding code that isn't yours is harder than writing your own.

So I changed how I work. Smaller prompts. Fewer tools loaded. One agent at a time. Read the diff before the next ask.

It feels slower. The PRs go out faster.

The productivity gain is real. But so is the cognitive load of reviewing at scale. I'm not sure we're talking enough about that second part.

What's slowing you down: the generation or what comes after it?
