MENGENAI EPISOD INI
The traditional pull request was built for human eyes, but in an era of autonomous AI agents, it officially has a massive target on its back. This week on Dev Interrupted, CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber joins Andrew to discuss why the rapid pace of AI adoption is forcing engineering teams to completely reimagine the software development lifecycle. They explore the shift toward an accountability-oriented model for code review, how CI/CD validation is moving directly into the local agent loop, and the very real financial dangers of unchecked token budgets. Finally, Rob shares his playbook for leading organizations through this chaotic transition without burning out your developers (or your token budget). We recommend pairing his strategy with something like AI code review to find the floor for your newly-agentic engineering org’s output.
