Seems like code production is up but mainly in feature branches. Main branch changes are down. MTTR deteriorating. This is for all but the highest performing (top 5%ile) teams.

This has to be driven by AI adoption. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I can see how this is productive. Maybe the optimistic take is the top 5% are showing the way and the remainder will follow? That seems a bit too optimistic though, because the bottom 95% are probably burdened by technical/organizational debt that limits their ability to adapt quickly enough.
