Gist: AI improves development throughput, but failed-build recovery time worsens year over year. CircleCI highlights a 72-minute median recovery time, up 13%, using this as evidence of delivery friction.

Signal reason: It reinforces a broader narrative about AI improving speed while exposing delivery friction.

Gist: The report says AI speeds up code creation, but delivery throughput is not improving for most teams. It uses large-scale CI/CD data to frame a gap between development velocity and release performance.

Signal reason: Frames a broad industry narrative about AI and delivery performance.
