We are shipping faster. Shipping speed depends on a variety of factors. That said, the ability to generate and validate designs, code, tests, data, performance and security evals, etc is increasing the speed of delivery for many organizations - I'm a consultant and I see it every day.

I also see companies that don't know what they want to build, suffer from toxic culture etc -- they are not faster because their core problems never had much to do with software development.

Sure, there are plenty of developers clinging to the "old way" or using AI in ways that add complexity and slow things down but I don't see this as the dominant group.
