The New Bottleneck in Software Development

AI is making it easier than ever to write code, but shipping it is becoming the harder problem. As developers and coding agents produce more code, codebases are growing, CI workloads are increasing, and build and test times are becoming a bigger constraint on engineering velocity. This talk explores why code validation is emerging as the new bottleneck in software development, and why the teams that can build, test, and ship faster will have a meaningful competitive advantage.
