Episode notes
Integration, Not Coding, Is The New Bottleneck
- The bottleneck in modern engineering is integrating code, not writing it.
- Kyle Galbraith says faster builds, reviews, and deploys matter more than raw coding velocity.
Agents Amplify Output, Expose Downstream Limits
- Agent-driven development could multiply effective engineering output massively.
- Kyle warns three humans plus 297 agents would break code review and pipeline capacity if integrations remain slow.
Shorten Builds And Improve Pipeline Observability
- Reduce build times and improve observability to prevent pipeline bottlenecks.
- Try Depot (depot.dev) as a concrete step to speed builds and CI workflows.
