This week we didn’t see an uptick in shipping velocity. We stalled due to CI capacity issues with our provider, and to make things worse, even our cloud providers have run out of capacity to host our runners. VCs are getting excited about funding faster/cheaper runners while the reality is that constantly optimizing and rewiring CI/CD has become the name of the game. Once you solve the agentic validation and code-review bottlenecks, you still have plenty of engineering and janitorial work to keep the factory humming.

We at @coderabbitai shipped 5K PRs last week. Our tiny team is shipping more than a thousand-person dev team. And we are nowhere near hitting our maximum potential. If we industrialize software development correctly, 50K PRs a week are totally achievable, if not more. At this point, it’s machines building machines. We are looking for pioneers to join our software factory initiative. Must meet one of the following criteria to join the project: - Tastefully shipped at least 1000 PRs in the last 30 days. - Played at least 500 hours of strategy or simulation games such as Civilization, Age of Empires, Transport Tycoon, Factorio, etc. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to define the UX/DS for building and shipping software at scale. You'll solve a broad spectrum of problems, from designing provably correct software using formal methods to achieving operational excellence with agentic operations. You will also get millions of dollars of token budgets! Please DM me only if you qualify and want to spend your next few months/years on this!

We've raised a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation. In 2023 we spent our time arguing that AI code needed its own reviewer. That argument is over. The work now is moving into the change itself. This is where we think Agentic Change Management comes in.
