AI isn't slowing us down anymore. Everything around AI is.
I came across an interesting report shared by TechRadar today.
One statistic immediately caught my attention:
79% of organisations say AI has improved individual developer productivity, but software delivery hasn't accelerated at the same pace.
GitLab calls this the "AI Paradox."
I don't think the problem is AI.
Developers are writing code faster. The challenge is that products are still built by teams, not individuals. Requirements change. Product decisions evolve. Context gets lost. Reviews take longer. AI can generate code in seconds, but it can't magically align everyone on what should be built.
To me, this report reinforces one thing:
The next competitive advantage won't come from generating more code. It'll come from creating better clarity before the code is written.
That's exactly the direction we're building toward with MySpec.
What do you think? Have you experienced this "AI Paradox" in your own workflow?
