So it&rsquo;s natural to ask: if the coding part gets 10x faster, shouldn&rsquo;t the whole project get 10x faster too?</em></p> <p><em>The answer is surprisingly counterintuitive — and backed by a growing body of data.</em></p> <hr> <h2 id="the-speed-is-real-the-extrapolation-is-not">The Speed Is Real. The Extrapolation Is Not</h2> <p>AI coding tools deliver genuine speed on implementation tasks. GitHub Copilot studies show developers completing isolated coding tasks <strong>55% faster</strong>. AI agents can generate entire modules in minutes. The speed is not the illusion.</p>
