To me the limiting factor is, for lack of a better expression, the speed of taking responsibility for the agents' output.
I can't sign off a 1000 LoC change in 5 minutes, it's just not possible.
For this reason I don't believe people saying they've experienced a 20x speedup. No one who makes a living in this business is this much slower at writing than reading code that they don't hit a wall with the latter when the former is done by AI.
