They can't all be equally important bottlenecks; a bottleneck is by definition a singular component or sub-system most-limiting to the system's output.
What are we trying to output from our businesses? Code?
What is this magical context floating around every business that will unlock AI agents to produce ... what?
[Edit] I apologize for my tone. You're right, dealing with the speed of code generation is an unprecedented problem. I was making the argument that it's not the most important to the business and that rate of code change is very rarely the top concern. But that does not mean it's not the most important problem for someone. For the developers dealing with the system, it is.

This is a pointless statement though. The fact that writing code is a bottleneck, and a critical one, doesn't mean it's the only thing standing between us and fixing/implementing something.
It's like downplaying the time taken by international flights, because people can spend time passing through security.
The truth of the matter is that all software development processes is built around how slow code is written. Now code is ceasing to become a bottleneck and the current software dev process starts to emerge as inadequate.
