The Code is Fast, The Humans Are Slow

AI solved the syntax bottleneck, but exposed the orchestration bottleneck. If an agent writes a data lake component in 40 seconds, but it takes 4 days to gather context, deploy a test environment, and parse stakeholder feedback — we haven’t accelerated anything.

The real engineering problem right now isn’t generating code; it’s building closed-loop feedback mechanisms that automatically translate human critiques into the next PR.
