The New Bottleneck - When AI Writes Code Faster Than Humans Can Review It

The 10x Productivity Paradox We're living through an incredible shift in software development. AI agents have made it absurdly easy to write code - close tech debt gaps, create multiple POC implementations, kill bugs, dramatically increase testing coverage, and ship new features at lightning speed. The promise of 10x velocity increase is real, and it's here. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the bottleneck has shifted. In the traditional software delivery cycle, writing code was often the slowest phase. Now? It's the fastest. The new bottleneck is code review.
