"Um foguete." A IA está dobrando a produção de software, e a qualidade do código está se mantendo - Business Insider
Software developers are churning out code at a pace not seen since the early 2000s dot-com boom, according to new data shared with Business Insider. And the quality of the code is holding up.
AI tools have doubled software output, with companies now deploying new features and products in weeks rather than months, according to data from GitHub, GitLab, and several major tech companies.
Developers are using AI to generate boilerplate code, suggest optimizations, and even write entire modules. The result is a dramatic acceleration in software delivery timelines.
"It's like having an extra team member who never sleeps," said one senior developer at a Fortune 500 company. "The productivity gains are real."
Quality metrics from automated testing systems show no significant degradation despite the increased volume. Bug rates per line of code have remained stable, and security scanning tools are flagging no more vulnerabilities than before.
The trend is most pronounced in front-end development and API creation, where repetitive patterns are common. Backend systems and critical infrastructure are seeing more modest gains as developers remain cautious about AI-generated code in sensitive areas.
Industry analysts predict this AI-assisted development model will become the standard within 18 months, fundamentally changing how software teams operate.
