Faros Research's Acceleration Whiplash report tracked 22,000 developers to show what happens when agents flood codebases—median code review times skyrocketed 441.5% as senior engineers were buried unravelling plausible-looking flaws, while quarterly code churn spiked 861% and production incidents-to-PR ratios more than tripled (+242.7%). High throughput, hollow velocity.
