AI Speeds Up Coding, but Code Review Is Now the Bottleneck for Shipping
Engineering teams using AI coding agents are finding that faster code writing does not translate into faster delivery. Benchmark data from LinearB and Faros AI cited in the article shows AI-generated pull requests wait several times longer for review and merge at lower rates than manual ones. Human reviewers face multi-day queues, fatigue when skimming large diffs, and burnout among senior engineers acting as manual linters. Off-the-shelf AI reviewers also struggle because they see only the code and a brief description, missing the intended design and cross-service constraints behind changes.
