Report warns AI coding speed is outpacing product judgment at startups
Google's 2025 DORA report finds 90% of developers now use AI daily, but the tool mainly magnifies existing habits rather than automatically improving output quality. Separate data shows 66% of developers spend extra time fixing AI-generated code that's 'almost correct,' while GitClear found an eightfold rise in code duplication since AI adoption became widespread. The piece argues that cheaper development means weak feature ideas can ship as fast as good ones unless teams deliberately slow down to validate problems first.
