Our position

Once generation is abundant, acceptance is the binding constraint.

When AI makes generating code cheap, the scarce, valuable work becomes judging whether a change is correct, safe and worth shipping. Delivery should be optimised — and measured — around acceptance, not output.

Everyone says

AI accelerates delivery by helping developers write more code, faster.

We think

Generation is no longer the bottleneck; acceptance is. Optimise the acceptance gate, not typing speed.

What we’ve observed

  • In agent-heavy delivery, review and verification increasingly dominate cycle time.

The objection

Better models will remove the bottleneck.
Model quality improves generation; acceptance — correctness, safety, shippability — stays the constraint, and the bar rises with regulation.
