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?

  Clearly you have to replace obsolete human testers with agentic AI testers, duh.
  At some point, with all this velocity, human users become the bottleneck, unable to keep up with and learn all the changes and new features. Luckily, there's a simple solution: just replace the human users with agentic AI users.

    Maybe we can also replace the customers with agentic consumers.

    If AI takes over the job market, they’ll have to. There won’t be enough humans with income to pay for things. The machines can crank out exponentially more code each day and maybe us silly humans can find something else to do with our time.
