AI has slashed coding time in 2026, but it’s sacrificed software stability
AI has significantly reduced coding time in 2026, but this has come at the cost of software stability. While teams are able to release code faster, they are facing increased deployment issues and longer recovery times.

- ▪69% of heavy AI users report regular deployment problems with AI-generated code.
- ▪Manual tasks in quality assurance and validation have increased for nearly half of frequent AI coding assistant users.
