Everyone is talking about how AI is making developers more productive.
But productivity and progress aren't always the same thing.
After analyzing 1M pull requests across 2,444 organizations, Entelligence found:
β’ 1 in 4 lines of code gets thrown away
β’ Only 21% of review comments are addressed
β’ Reactive work dominates engineering time at many teams
The takeaway:
The challenge isn't generating more code.
It's making sure more of that code actually ships and creates value.
Interesting research from Entelligence.
