That&rsquo;s from METR (Model Evaluation &amp; Threat Research). The gap between perception and instrumented reality is the core problem, not noise in the measurement.</p> <p>The DORA 2025 State of AI-Assisted Software Development report fills out the macro picture: 90% of developers are now using AI coding tools, individual task completion jumped 21%, and pull requests merged increased 98%. Organizational delivery metrics remained completely flat. Faros AI&rsquo;s telemetry from over 10,000 developers adds the mechanism: as PR volume skyrocketed, code review time increased 91%, PR size grew 154%, and bug rates climbed 9%. Activity rose dramatically while outcomes didn&rsquo;t move.</p>
