For the past two years, the story engineering teams told about AI was simple: it writes code faster, so teams ship faster. That story is only half true. Code does get written faster. But Google’s 2025 DORA report, based on analysis of over 1,100 open-ended responses from Google software engineers, found that higher AI adoption […] The post The new engineering bottleneck isn’t writing code, it’s trusting it appeared first on e27 .
Why it matters: Google's 2025 DORA report, drawing on over 1,100 open-ended responses from Google software engineers, found that higher AI adoption speeds up code writing but has not translated into faster delivery, shifting the real bottleneck to trusting and verifying AI-generated code. For investors and operators watching Indonesia–Singapore tech capital, this suggests — as an inference from the finding — that value and GTM narratives may need to migrate from 'ship faster' code-generation promises toward trust and verification layers, with portfolio metrics and regional positioning pressure-tested accordingly.
