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

    Here's my constant question:

    Everyone's going so fast that they keep hitting walls. Review, CI, product asking for things, whatever.

    Why have we not seen an improvements in products?

    While every post and thread feels like a 90's wall street office, the new android and iphone ship with fewer features than usual. No indie guys come up with a linux-sized alternative OS. Switch 2 remains unhacked. Windows takes 3 seconds to show the right click menu.

    Is everyone just running full speed in circles or something?

      well people are spending tokens like crazy for sure, Anthropic and all other labs and everything related to AI seem to be making tons of money.

      On a serious note, it might take a while to realize the actual benefits or losses. Its clearly not a good signal when people whose job is to manage other people start writing their own pet AI projects. This just indicates that AI has created this big job insecurity among everyone. At the end of the day being an engineer, eventually the job is relatively safer when there is so much code being written out there.
