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

Speed up CI and the next bottleneck just moves to deploy and rollback, which do not scale the same way.

  You are right, but one problem at a time :)

  Why not? A good chunk of software engineering problems can be solved if we re-structured our definitions. Even just a year ago, people did not believe that a good chunk of prod-running code would be completely AI generated. Now we're at the point where some companies try to split "what code has to be PR-reviewed, and what doesn't have to be" to remove that bottleneck and so on.
