Atlassian: AI time savings are disappearing into code review
Atlassian's 2026 Developer Experience report finds developers code faster, but most of the gain is lost later in the process. LeadDev reports that the time savings vanish in code review.
Who is affected and how
- tech lead
- Review is the bottleneck, so add capacity or automation there.
- senior developer
- More AI-generated code means more review, so reviewer time must be budgeted.
