Report Preview Details Impact AI Coding Has On Software Engineering
Platform Engineering, Friday, June 26th, 2026
A DX report finds AI now writes half of production code but pull requests have doubled and failure rates are rising.
An upcoming DX report says AI coding tools now account for half the code running in production, yet pull requests have doubled in size and change failure rates are rising.
Expected productivity gains are not materializing because coding is only 14-16% of development time.
Teams lack AI-ready workflows and overfocus on coding speed rather than deployment quality.
The definition of developer is expanding as end users generate code via prompts.
Platform engineering may need more centralization plus new metrics for utilization, impact, and cost.
