# Verification capacity becomes the coding-agent bottleneck

## Observation

Coding agents can parallelize implementation faster than engineering teams can expand review judgment.

## Why it matters

The scarce resource moves from code generation to trustworthy specifications, review queues, evaluation coverage, and accountable release decisions.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2709. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2709.
