Your builds suck and AI is making it worse

AI lets you write code 10x faster. It did nothing for how fast you ship it. The bottleneck moved from writing code to building, testing, and deploying it. This talk is about fixing the middle of your pipeline so your ideas stop dying there.

AI coding tools have accelerated how fast code is written. They have done nothing for how fast it ships. In fact, they have made the problem worse. When one developer produces at a much higher rate, everything after writing code becomes the bottleneck: slow source control, sluggish builds, manual PR reviews, and broken CI. These problems are not new, but the cost of a slow pipeline is now much higher. More code means more builds, more tests, and more deploys, and legacy plumbing was not built for this. The session explains why specialization, not another monolithic platform, is the better answer. Attendees will learn how to shrink the distance between idea and production by waiting less.
