AI coding made us faster. Why did incidents increase?
The introduction of AI coding assistants has led to increased speed in software development but also a rise in incidents. While teams experience improved velocity metrics, they also face higher change failure rates. The effectiveness of AI tools largely depends on the existing delivery practices within organizations.
- ▪AI coding assistants improve velocity metrics, leading to larger pull requests and shorter cycle times.
- ▪Teams with higher AI adoption have reported increased change failure rates, resulting in more production failures.
- ▪Organizations with established practices like contract testing and canary deployments tend to see a decrease in change failure rates after adopting AI.

AI AI coding made us faster. Why did incidents increase? AI coding made us faster. Why did incidents increase? Faster code. Slower, harder incidents. By Parthiban Rajasekaran May 19, 2026 You have 1 article left to read this month before you need to register a free LeadDev.com account. Estimated reading time: 7 minutes Key takeaways: AI amplifies whatever your delivery process already is. Strong practices get faster. Weak ones get paged at midnight. The self-grading loop is your biggest hidden risk: when the model writes code and tests, it tests its own assumptions. Observability is a release gate, not an afterthought. Across engineering organizations, a pattern has become consistent.
