CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber argues that when code is generated at machine speed, waiting for pipeline-stage validation creates costly rework. The solution is pushing deterministic checks, testing, and agentic review directly into the developer/agent workflow before changes leave a working branch. This shift also demands new metrics beyond DORA — including token consumption and pipeline efficiency — and requires engineering controls around quality, security, and release safety to scale in lockstep with AI-driven output. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
