Everything on Engineering Velocity

Engineering throughput can be doubled by transitioning to an "agent-first" mindset where all technical work is reimagined around AI agents rather than just augmenting human typing.

Impact: Dramatic reduction in time-to-market for new features and a significant increase in R&D efficiency.

Stripe lands approximately 1,300 pull requests per week initiated by autonomous agents, with human involvement limited to review. This demonstrates the viability of high-volume agentic workflows in production environments.

Impact: Organizations can significantly accelerate development cycles and reduce time-to-market by integrating autonomous agents into standard engineering workflows, provided review capacity scales accordingly.
