Half the Issues, Three Times the Output, and a Longer Queue: Inside the Agent Productivity Paradox
Linear's first How Teams Build report finds that AI now authors just under half of every issue created on its platform, and that teams using coding agents tripled weekly pull requests from twenty one to sixty five. Total product development time still went up, with engineering time on creating and triaging work rising roughly seventeen percent. Chris and Laura dig into the corroborating LinearB benchmark of 8.1 million pull requests, where AI assisted changes merge at 32.7 percent versus 84.5 percent for code written by humans, and ask the uncomfortable question the throughput numbers hide.
