Today I remember those who died on October 7; who were abducted and tortured; who lost loved ones; who saved lives; who fight to protect us all. I see you. I also remember those who killed; who raped; who cheered; who financed; who excused. I see you. We will dance again.

CI stands for "continuous integration". But integration is actually a discrete event! So "continuous" just means "more frequent", the same way HD means "more pixels". Now, with agents, integration is getting a whole lot more continuous... I guess this is CI's 4K moment? 😛

Test workloads are build workloads; test bottlenecks are build bottlenecks. It's time for a new kind of scheduler, that can run all our builds and tests as an integrated workload rather than dislocated siloes. Then we'll wonder how we ever tolerated CI this slow and wasteful.
