AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up

    In my case it's not the CI that's the bottleneck. It's the human testing side. Does it work, sure. But does it actually do the thing we want (and more importantly) does it do it in a way our customers will understand and actually like?

      I feel like if anything LLMs have reduced coding/software to "throw as much as possible at the wall and see what sticks". It feels quite shortsighted and wasteful, especially considering that humanity needs to get better about how it produces and consumes energy. It's sort of bleak.

        hasn't improved software either. it's made the overall quality worse if anything.

        Which is a bit terrifying and removes the ‘engineering’ component of a critical part of the job, in exchange for slot machine / pray to ai gods…which comes with disconnect from the code, something I assume will adversely compound over time.
