TLDR Dev · OPINIONS & ADVICE
IF YOU THOUGHT THE SPEED OF WRITING CODE WAS YOUR PROBLEM - YOU HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
Increasing code writing speed with AI coding assistants actively worsens software delivery by creating inventory and overwhelming non-bottleneck stages. Optimizing a non-bottleneck leads to more stalled reviews and decreased output quality. The real bottlenecks typically lie in areas like unclear requirements, extensive wait times post-coding, fear of releasing, lack of feedback loops, or organizational coordination issues.
