    I have not gone so far as to allow agents to operate my version control, so excuse my ignorance, but by abandoning PRs for thread deltas, are we also abandoning human-written code entirely? Will every micro-change, fix, or refactor have to be prompted to be tracked in this paradigm?

      Oh, yeah. I gave Claude sudo on my AI dev machine: it commits, pushes, checks the results of pre-push tests, sudos to another user, deploys, checks the results of smoke tests, and then checks the end result.

      It also has MCP access to Cloudflare. Front-end deploys on every push to main but Claude can adjust the pipeline, add environmental variables, etc.

        That sounds like a problem waiting to happen.

          All IT infrastructure is a problem waiting to happen. I have backups and a rollback mechanism.

            That's like not putting protective guardrail on a staircase, and instead having first aid kits and emergency phone number on hand. In other words, dumb and irresponsible. Possibly illegal, depending on the case.
