AI tools are generating 110% more code. Lead times are up 480%. The Faros 2026 Engineering Report calls it the "Acceleration Whiplash."
This is not a surprise for people knowing the theory of constraints, queuing theory, and complex adaptive systems: speed up a stage in a pipeline, and you create bottlenecks or bugs, then the system adapts around the new reality.
The number that stands up: 861% increase in code churn.

The goal of AI in software development isn't to write more code faster. It's to write better code — and that often means slowing down.
Nolan Lawson wrote a piece called "Using AI to write better code more slowly", and the sentiment is right. The techniques are a different conversation.
What actually works? The same things that worked before AI: small pieces, clear goals, incremental iteration. AI gives you a faster feedback loop on those fundamentals — not a shortcut around them. https://moza...

"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." This quote from Picasso describes how most developers start with using AI.
But the most productive thing you can do with an AI assistant isn't to generate faster. It's to think better through conversations. Learn how in our latest video: https://mozaicworks.com/blog/5-ai-conversation-patterns-every-developer-should-know?fsp_sid=1661 #AI #De...

Storing metrics in relational databases is the obvious choice until you start fighting with the engine. Time series databases are built for exactly this access pattern: high-frequency sequential writes on one side, time-range aggregation queries on the other, optimized storage for time-series data.

New video: https://mozaicworks.com/blog/reframing-code-for-the-age-of-llm-assistants?fsp_sid=1557 #AI #Programming #SoftwareCraft #Video

Code has always served two audiences: the machine and the developer. LLMs are commoditizing the
first. The second is where things get interesting.
Unmesh Joshi's recent article "What is Code" on Martin Fowler's blog frames code as a conceptual model. My commentary adds ...
