They studied 100,000+ GitHub developers and find that AI coding agents massively increase code production, but much less of that work becomes shipped software.
Autonomous AI coding agents raised commits by 180%, but releases rose only 30%.
The paper’s main idea is that software production has weak links, so faster code writing does not help as much when humans still need to review, connect, test, package, and ship the work.
